Tower Solar Warning Light Installation Guide of on Communication Towers, Chimneys and Tower Cranes
Tower lights are lighting devices installed on tower structures. They are commonly seen on iron towers. They attract attention with their regular flashing light and are also called aviation obstruction lights.
In lighting technology, tower lights are mainly divided into two categories: AC220V LED type and solar warning type. With the optimization of global energy structure and the improvement of environmental protection awareness, solar tower lights are increasingly widely used due to their green and sustainable advantages.
Application & Characteristics of Solar Warning Lights
- Tower solar warning lights are mostly used in high-rise buildings, such as the flashing red or yellow lights commonly seen on the top floors of buildings, providing clear and visible obstacle warnings for aircraft, tower cranes, etc.
- These LED warning lights consume very little energy during operation and are completely powered by solar energy, making them very suitable for long-term use outdoors and in remote areas.
- Usually, the flashing frequency of solar tower warning light is adjustable, usually between 1 and 80 times/minute (customizable according to needs), and can work continuously for 15 days after a single charge, and can last up to 10 years under normal use.
Installation Requirements of Tower Solar Warning Light
To ensure flight safety, according to national regulations, outside the airspace protection zone of civil airports, any tall buildings or facilities that may affect flight safety must be equipped with aviation obstruction lights and signs, and maintain their normal operation. The details are as follows:
- Buildings with a height of more than 45 meters must be equipped with LED high-altitude obstruction lights and signs.
- Artificial and natural obstacles along the route and around the flight area also need to be equipped with aviation obstruction warning lights, solar warning lights and signs.
- For tall buildings and facilities on the ground, if there is a risk of affecting flight safety, corresponding warning lights and signs should also be installed, and ensure that they are in good condition.
- For public security, fire protection, transportation and other departments with aprons in the city, as well as the sky above the city that is regarded as a clear area, tall buildings also need to be equipped with tower solar warning light or LED warning light.
Ground Inspection & Precautions
- Before installation, strict lighting inspection must be carried out on the ground, including confirming whether the LED solar lamps can work properly, checking whether the installation location is appropriate, and ensuring that all installation accessories are complete.
- The installation direction of the solar panel should be as sunny as possible to maximize the efficiency of light reception.
- Turn on the switch of the solar light, and the aircraft warning light has an intelligent light control function, which will automatically adjust the working state according to the ambient light.
By following the above installation guidelines, the effective installation and operation of solar LED warning lights on communication towers, chimneys, tower cranes and other structures can be ensured, providing strong protection for flight safety and night operations.
In addition, tower solar warning light are also widely used in building facilities with extremely high requirements for lightning protection, such as aviation, navigation, communication towers, radio and television towers and high-rise buildings.
