01 Choosing the Right Aviation Obstruction Light
1. How do I choose the right aviation obstruction light for my structure?
The appropriate aviation obstruction light depends on several factors, including the type and height of your structure, its location, applicable aviation regulations and available power supply.
Obelux can help you identify suitable lighting solutions for your project. To receive a recommendation and quotation, please provide your structure’s location, type, height, power requirements and any applicable technical specifications to our sales team at info@obelux.com
2. Which ICAO, FAA or national aviation lighting requirements apply to my project?
Aviation obstruction lighting requirements vary depending on the country, structure type and height. Many countries base their requirements on ICAO Annex 14, Volume I, while others follow FAA regulations or additional national requirements. Obelux offers lighting solutions designed for relevant ICAO and FAA classifications. Product datasheets identify the applicable classifications. Always confirm project requirements with your local aviation authority.
3. How many obstruction lights do I need, and where should they be installed?
The required number and positioning of aviation obstruction lights depend on your structure’s height, dimensions and configuration, as well as the applicable aviation regulations
Share your project drawings, structure dimensions and relevant requirements with our sales team at info@obelux.com to discuss the most suitable lighting arrangement for your project.
4. Should I choose steady-burning or flashing obstruction lights, and red or white lighting?
The appropriate lighting configuration depends on aviation regulations, structure height and whether daytime, nighttime or combined marking is required. Different applications may require steady-burning red lights, flashing red lights or flashing white lights.
Obelux offers several configurations to address different lighting requirements. Share your project drawings, structure dimensions and relevant requirements with our sales team at info@obelux.com to discuss the most suitable lighting arrangement for your project. Always confirm project requirements with your local aviation authority.
