The glass offers the best durability: - it does not scratch and is easy to clean, - it keeps its transparency regardless of the environment (UV radiation, high temperature, sandstorm ..). - its lifetime is limitless. • TechnologyOBSTA uses 3 types of long lifetime lights: - OBSTA HI STI and BALISOR cold neon discharge range. Combined with our lengthy experience in hostile environments (EMC, climate, etc. ...), the principle of cold neon discharge lights gives a proven lifetime of decades on all types of obstacles, especially the radio towers, the transmission lines, exposures in high temperature environments that do not affect performance. - LED obstruction light (NAVILITE series)Theoretically at 20°C, LED lifetime can be as long as 100 000hours (about 11 years). In reality, the LED’s lifetime depends mainly ambient temperature, ambient electromagnetic ? elds and conception of the light like heat dissipation and power supply reliability. NAVILITE series has been designed in a one-piece molded assembly. The molding solution provides excellent heat dissipation for optimum LED performance and a perfect waterproo? ng. The separate AC transformer provides galvanic isolation of LEDs lens and cover against electromagnetic interference.- OBSTAFLASH range - xenon obstruction light:With their robust and modular design, the optical and body in hard glass, the body in aluminium and stainless steel cabinet, these ? ashing lights offer easy maintenance and high durability.

The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization - appendix 14 , Chapter 6) and the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration - USA) lay down internationally-applicable rules on the characteristics of the beacons and their installation. Some points of the regulations (depending on the type of obstacles which must be marked), and the corresponding installation rules, are given below.Extract from annex 14 ICAOExtract from table 6-3. Characteristics of obstacle lights Position of the obstruction lights6.3.11 One or more low-, medium- or high intensity obstacle lights shall be located as close as practicable to the top of the object. The top lights shall be so arranged as to at least indicate the points or edges of the object highest in relation to the obstacle limitation surface.6.3.12 Recommendation - In the case of chimney or other structure like function, the top lights should be placed sufficiently below the top so as to minimize contamination by smoke etc...6.3.14 In the case of an extensive object or of a group of closely spaced objects, top lights shall be displayed at least on the points or edges of the objects highest in relation to the obstacle limitation surface, so as to indicate the general definition and the extent of the objects. If two or more edges are of the same height, the edge nearest the landing area shall be marked. Where low-intensity lights are used, they shall be spaced at longitudinal intervals not exceeding 45 m (150ft). Where medium-intensity lights are used, these shall be spaced at longitudinal intervals not exceeding 900 m (2950ft)6.3.15 Recommendation - When the obstacle limitation surface concerned is sloping and the highest point above limitation surface is not the highest point of the object, additional obstacle lights should be placed on the highest point of the object.6.3.22 The number and arrangement of low-, medium- or high-intensity obstacle lights at each level to be marked shall be such that the object is indicated from every angle in azimuth. Where a light is shielded in any direction by another part of the object, or by an adjacent object, additional lights shall be provided on that object to be lighted. If the shielded light does not contribute to the definition of the object to be lighted, it may be omitted.Beacon categoriesColorSignal type (?ashes per minute)Day time light intensity in candelasTwilight time light intensity in candelasNight time light intensity in candelasFAA ICAOLow intensityLow intensity type ARed Steady burning = 10 L-810Low intensity type BRed Steady burning = 32.5 Medium intensityL-864Medium intensity type BRed 20-40 Epm (FAA)20-60 (ICAO) 2,000 ± 25%Medium intensity type CRed Steady burning 2,000 ± 25%L-865Medium intensity type AWhite 40 Epm (FAA)20-60 (OACI) 20,000 ± 25% 20,000 ± 25% 2,000 ± 25%L-866Medium intensity type AWhite 60 Epm (FAA)20-60 (OACI) 20,000 ± 25% 20,000 ± 25% 2,000 ± 25%High intensityL-856High intensity type AWhite 40 Epm 200,000 ± 25% 20,000 ± 25% 2,000 ± 25%L-857High intensity type BWhite 40 Epm 100,000 ± 25% 20,000 ± 25% 2,000 ± 25%6YXSELECTION GUIDEIn order to help you choosing the proper light you need, you will ?nd below the most common con?gurations.The recommendations and rules mentioned below are only given for information based on the ICAO recommendations, and ICAO aerodrome design manual.POLE / TOWERNumber of lights = N = Y(m) 45Distance between lights = X = Y < 45m N NIGHT TIME MARKINGThe night time marking is done with red obstruction lights:• low intensity type A or B (L-810)• and/or medium intensity type B or C (L-864)DAY TIME MARKINGThe day time marking is done with white ? ashing obstruction lights:• medium intensity type A ( L-865)• or high intensity type A or B ( L-856, L-857)(The use of white strobe ? ashing light during day time eliminates the need to paint the obstacle with red and white stripes).

ying aircraft. Placing beacons on pylons is not suf?cient to ensure safety due to the very long spans of cable (extract of Aerodrom Design Manual chapter 14.7 annex 4).The BALISOR® system (created by OBSTA in the 60's) is a beacon for high voltage lines. Its conductors take the power required directly from the line.The system is , therefore, completely self-contained.Our standard model of BALISOR® fall into the ICAO low intensity category.The neon discharge offers :- inherent generation of «aviation» red light,- a very long life, essential to continuous operation of highvoltage lines.
