Why Choose a Red and White Dual-Color Medium-Intensity Aviation Obstruction Light?

For aviation warning systems on communication towers, tall buildings, and other elevated structures, different light colors may be required during the day and at night. A red and white dual-color medium-intensity aviation obstruction light uses a photocell to switch colors automatically based on ambient light conditions. It flashes white during the day and red at night, without the need for manual switching.

For projects that require different warning light colors for daytime and nighttime operation, one light can provide both modes, making daily operation more convenient.

What Is the Difference Between a Dual-Color Aviation Obstruction Light and a Red Aviation Light?

A standard red aviation obstruction light provides red warning signals, while a red and white dual-color medium-intensity aviation obstruction light automatically switches between white and red flashing modes according to ambient light conditions.

The main difference comes down to the lighting requirements of the project:

• Standard red aviation obstruction light: Suitable for projects that require red warning signals only.
• Red and white dual-color medium-intensity aviation obstruction light: Suitable for projects that require white flashing during the day and red flashing at night. Its photocell automatically switches the light color, reducing the need for manual operation.

If a project specifies different flashing colors for daytime and nighttime, a dual-color aviation obstruction light may be a more suitable option.

What Are the Advantages of a Red and White Dual-Color Medium-Intensity Aviation Obstruction Light?

1. Dual-Color Flashing for Day and Night Operation

This model uses photocell-controlled switching to provide white flashing during the day and red flashing at night. The light color changes automatically with ambient light conditions, making it suitable for projects that require different warning light colors during daytime and nighttime operation.

The white light has an effective intensity of at least 20,000 cd, while the red light has an effective intensity of at least 2,000 cd. The horizontal beam angle is 360°. These specifications help project teams check whether the light meets their required intensity and coverage specifications.

2. IP66 Protection for Outdoor Installation

Aviation obstruction lights are often installed on communication towers, rooftops, and other exposed structures, where they may face dust, rain, and changing temperatures.

This model features an aluminum housing and a PC lens, with an IP66 protection rating and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +55°C. These specifications make it suitable for outdoor installations within its rated operating conditions.

3. Customizable Voltage and Flashing Rate

Power supply requirements and technical specifications can vary from one project to another. This model has a standard operating voltage of DC 48V, with other voltage options available upon request.

The default flashing rate is 20 flashes per minute (FPM), and rates from 20 to 60 FPM can be customized to meet project requirements.

4. Optional GPS Synchronization and Monitoring Functions

For projects that require multiple lights to flash in sync or connect to an external monitoring system, the following options are available:

• GPS synchronization: Allows multiple lights to flash in synchronization.
• RS485 communication: Enables communication with compatible external devices.
• Alarm output: Provides an alarm signal to a connected monitoring system.

If your project requires synchronized flashing or external monitoring, let us know your requirements when requesting a quotation so we can confirm the appropriate configuration.
