DoubleWise/SOLAR RED OBSTRUCTION LIGHTING SOLUTION FOR TOWERS

Solar Red Obstruction lights are used to increase conspicuity during nighttime. The solar red obstruction lighting system is composed of flashing omnidirectional beacons (L-864) and/or steady burning (L-810) lights. When one or more levels is comprised of flashing beacon lighting, the lights should flash simultaneously.

Telecommunications or Power Towers are typically tall structures designed to support Antennas or Power lines. They are among the tallest man-made structures.

BASIC RULES

· The number of light levels recommended depends on the height of the structure;

· The number and arrangement of light units at each level should be placed so the lighting is visible from every angle in azimuth;

· Lights are applied to display the general definition of the structure;

· Width and length of buildings determine the number of lights installed at the top and at each light level.

Selection of Lights

If the tower is needed to be lighted at night, please reference the following list.

HEIGHT

Number OF LEVELS

H ≤ 45m

Only one level: Low intensity DWS301A or DWS501A

45m < H ≤ 105m

2 levels:

Top level: Medium intensity – Type B DWS702S;

Intermediate level: Low / Medium intensity – Type B DWS501A

105m < H ≤ 210m

4 levels:

Top level: Medium intensity – Type B DWS702S;

First Intermediate level: Low / Medium intensity – Type B DWS501A;

Second Intermediate level: Medium intensity – Type B DWS702S;

Lower Intermediate level: Low / Medium intensity – Type B DWS501A.

Lights should define the general shape of the object;

1 or more lights should be mounted outside at diagonally opposite positions;

Square base W<45m:

4 AWL;

Lights to be installed in each corner.

Number of Levels According to Height

Number of lights depends on the diameter
