What level of light intensity should be chosen for aviation light based on various building heights?
A key consideration is choosing aviation light with the appropriate light intensity for buildings of varying heights.
LUBAO recognizes the critical nature of this decision and offers a comprehensive guide to assist you in making informed choices.
These aviation light can also be used as harbor marine light.
| Types | Application | Classification | Illuminant | Frequency | Installation position | Notes |
| Low light intensity-aviation light |
Mainly used to identify tall buildings
and aircraft in the air, such as the tower
near the airport, low rise residential buildings...
|
Type-A | Red steady lighting | Fixed obstacles or buildings below 45m | ||
| Type-B | Red steady lighting | |||||
| Type-C | Yellow flashing or blue flashing | 60-90fpm | Movable obstacles | |||
| Type-D | Yellow flashing | |||||
| Type-E | Red flashing | |||||
| Medium light intensity-aviation light |
Mainly used to identify aircraft in high altitude, tall buildings and other
important obstacles, such as the other important obstacles, high rise residential buildings, smokestack...
|
Type-A | White flashing | 20-60fpm | Above 105m, below 150m |
To be used in conjunction with medium
light intensity-aviation light (Tybe-B) and
low light intensity-aviation light.
|
| Type-B | Red flashing | Above 45m, below 105m | To be used in conjunction with low light intensity-aviation light. | |||
| Type-C | Red steady lighting | |||||
| High light intensity-aviation light |
Mainly used to identifying very tall
buildings and important obstacles, such
as the skyscrapers, TV tower, HV tower...
|
Type-A | White flashing | 40-60fpm | Above 150m |
To be used in conjunction with medium
light intensity-aviation light and low light intensity-aviation light.
|
| Type-B | White flashing | Ultra high HV towers or poles... |
If the height of the building exceeds 45m above the surrounding ground level, aviation light must be installed on the middle floor.
