How to Choose Aviation Obstruction Light? GZ-155 LED Based on ICAO and FAA Standards

Why Do ICAO and FAA Require Aviation Obstruction Lights?

According to ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Annex 14 Volume I and FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) AC 150/5345-43G standards, all tall structures must be equipped with aviation obstruction lighting systems to ensure flight safety.

These systems are widely used in communication towers, high-rise buildings, cranes, bridges, and wind energy installations.

The GZ-155 LED aviation obstruction light is designed for ICAO Medium Intensity Type B and FAA L-864 applications.

What Is the Function of Aviation Obstruction Lights?

Aviation obstruction lights are used to indicate tall structures in low visibility or nighttime conditions to reduce collision risk.

• Telecommunication towers
• High-rise buildings
• Construction cranes
• Industrial chimneys
• Bridges
• Wind turbines

Application Scenarios for Aviation Obstruction Lights

Communication Towers
