The Regulations of Aviation Obstruction Lights Systems

Aircraft warning lights are used to prevent aircraft collisions to high structure and make high structures more visible for day and night with lighting devices.

Aircraft warning lights to be used in high-rise buildings and structures have been categorized according to specific characteristics by ICAO Annex 14 regulations (International Civil Aviation Organization) such as beam pattern, light intensity and light colour.

ICAO Annex 14 – Visual Aids for denoting obstacles

Light types to be used in the structure are stated in part ICAO Annex 14 (Airports) Chapter 6 – Visual Aids for denoting obstacles.

Well known or most common international and national regulations to apply for aircraft warning lights systems are ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) and Local civil aviation authority (CAA) standards.

Explosion or Ex-proof lights to be used in harsh environments and dangerous area must be certified according to the ATEX / IECEx regulations.

According to the type and height of structure AEROLIGHT low intensity aviation obstruction lights, medium intensity aviation obstruction lights, and high intensity aircraft warning lights meet the ICAO Annex 14, FAA and CAA standards.

AEROLIGHT aviation obstruction lights are resistant in all weather conditions, extremely in hot and cold weather conditions. AEROLIGHT LED aircraft warning lights can be easily traceable and also current monitoring can be integrated into the system.
