Aviation warning lights

Tall structures, seen from the air in time

Where a structure reaches into low altitude flight it has to be lit. Aviation warning lights mark bridges, masts, wind turbines and tall buildings so a pilot picks them out early, by day and at night, and the installation reports its own condition instead of waiting for someone to look up.

  • Bridges, masts, turbines and buildings
  • High intensity LED, read at distance
  • Red lamps activate automatically at night
  • Built for coastal, offshore and industrial sites
  • Status and alarms on the Emiko platform

Key features

What an aviation warning light has to do

Mark the obstacle, be seen early enough to matter, survive where it stands, and say something when it stops.

Built to the airspace rules

Aviation warning light systems are made to meet the aviation safety standards that apply to tall structures, national and international. For the owner of a bridge or a turbine the lighting is not a choice, and neither is the paperwork that goes with it.

Seen early, not late

High intensity LED signals carry a long way, so an obstacle is picked out in poor weather and low light while there is still room to act, rather than at the last moment.

Made for the weather it stands in

Coastal, offshore and industrial positions: strong wind, salt, rain and low temperatures, without losing output over the years the structure stands there.

It says when it fails

A lamp that has gone out is only a problem when nobody knows. Brought onto the Emiko platform, the installation reports its status, raises an alarm and can be controlled remotely.

What is installed

Lamps on the structure, a cabinet at its foot

What an installation contains, and what has to be decided before it is ordered.

An aviation warning light installation is a set of lamps and a control cabinet. The lamps sit where the rules require them: at the top of the structure and, on a tall one, at intermediate levels as well. The cabinet at the foot holds the power supply, the control and the connection that carries status away from the site. Red lamps switch on by themselves at night, as the current rules require, so there is nothing for anyone to remember and nobody to send up the structure at dusk.

  1. Establish what the structure requires: its height, its position and the rule that applies

  2. Set the lamp positions, the intensity and the day and night behaviour

  3. Install the cabinet, the supply and the connection that carries the status

  4. Bring the installation onto the platform, so a dark lamp is seen the same day

Good to know

Frequently asked questions about Aviation warning lights

Which structures have to be lit?

Bridges, masts, towers, wind turbines and tall buildings. The height at which lighting becomes a requirement is set by national rules, and the position of the structure counts as much as its height: a mast near an approach path is treated differently from the same mast inland.

Does anyone have to switch them on?

No. The red lamps activate automatically at night, which is what the current rules ask for and what removes the daily routine from the site.

Can a failed lamp be detected remotely?

Yes. Integrated with Emiko, the installation reports status and raises alarms, and supports remote control where the equipment allows it.

Do they work offshore?

Yes. The units are built for coastal, offshore and industrial exposure, which is where most of the tall structures that need them stand.
