obstruction lighting system

Obstacle light to mark the presence of tall structures that may

present hazards to air navigation at night time is a legal

requirement. The lighting system must be designed to meet

International Civil Aviation Organisation

product specification and placement.

Traditionally obstacle light has used incandescent

technology. The short lifetime of the incandescent

lamps of approximately 1,000 hours and their

susceptibility to failure caused by vibration required

that the fitting have two lamps. This ensured that in

the event of one failure the other lamp could take

over. This system required constant and frequent

lamp changing, costly maintenance, and was high in

energy consumption.

Now, the benefits of the latest in Light Emitting

(LED) technology can provide a far superior

Diode

solution. By taking advantage of its long lifetime of

approximately 100,000 hours, low power consump-

tion, and resistance to shock and vibration of

the Philips ObstiVision provides an ideal, mainte-

nance free solution to obstruction lighting system.

The standards and requirements of obstacle light

Obstruction lighting systems must meet the

requirements of the

Aviation Organisation Standards and Recommended

Practices: Aerodromes- Annex 14- Volume 1, 3rd

Edition, July 1999, Chapter 6.

ICAO International Civil

(ICAO) standards for

The key points that must be adhered to are

• To reduce the hazards to the aircraft, obstacles

above the horizontal surface should be lighted to

indicate the presence of the obstacles

• The light must be fixed, and red in colour

• Minimum peak intensity at background

luminance of up to 500cd/m2: 10cd for low

intensity type A and 32cd for low intensity type B

• Vertical beam spread of not less than 10 degrees

• Minimum intensity (cd) at given elevation

angles when the light is levelled: +6 degrees:

10cd for low intensity type A and 32cd for low

intensity type B

• Minimum intensity (cd) at given elevation angles

LEDs,

when the light is levelled: +10 degrees: 10cd for

low intensity type A and 32cd for low

intensity type B

• In addition to specified values, lights shall have

sufficient intensity to ensure conspicuity at

elevation angles between +/

50 degrees

ObstiVision in practice

ObstiVision is a dedicated maintenance-free

obstacle light for aviation warning purposes. Light

The benefits of LED technology

LEDs are a time tested solid state technology that emits a single colour of

light when an electric current is applied. They are revolutionising the lighting

world. Numerous benefits of this technology include extreme long life,

reliability and exceptional energy efficiency. Compared to a standard

incandescent solution the benefits in energy consumption and maintenance of

using the ObstiVision

LED solution are clear:
