This FAA Type L-810 red LED double obstruction light is a low-intensity, energy-efficient solution designed to mark tall structures and obstacles that pose potential hazards to aircraft during nighttime operations. Engineered for full compliance with FAA L-810 specifications, it provides a 360° horizontal light distribution with a minimum vertical beam spread of 10°, ensuring complete visibility from all directions. Delivering an effective intensity of at least 32.5 candelas (±20%), the fixture offers reliable and consistent performance for critical aviation safety applications.
The light features advanced LED technology that reduces energy consumption by up to 96% compared to traditional incandescent models, offering significant long-term power savings while maintaining regulatory light output standards. It is equipped with a precision-engineered aviation-grade clear acrylic Fresnel lens that enhances optical efficiency and uniformity. The optical assembly is housed in a rugged, UV-stable Valox™ base—known for its superior strength, thermal stability, and resistance to environmental degradation. Stainless steel latches and hardware offer excellent corrosion resistance, and a neoprene gasket ensures complete weatherproofing, even in the most demanding conditions.
The double light assembly stands 12 inches tall (30.88 cm) with a head diameter of 13.5 inches (34.29 cm), making it compact yet highly visible. Weighing just 5.52 pounds (2.503 kg), the fixture is lightweight and easy to install without the need for special tools. The unit is compatible with hub sizes of 0.75 inches and can be adapted for 1-inch or 1.25-inch mounts using enlargers. With a minimal wind load profile of just 0.2 square feet, the light remains stable even under high wind conditions.
Designed for versatility, the obstruction light supports a wide range of input voltages. It operates on standard 120V to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz and is also available in low-voltage DC variants, including 12V, 24V, and 48V configurations, enabling deployment in both grid-connected and off-grid environments. The LED light draws a low current of just 0.12 amps, contributing to its overall energy efficiency and suitability for remote installations.
Rated for extreme environments, the light performs reliably in operating temperatures ranging from -55°C to +55°C. This durability, combined with its solid-state LED technology and robust housing materials, ensures a long service life and minimal maintenance. Covered by a five-year limited warranty, this FAA L-810 red LED obstruction light is a dependable, cost-effective solution for towers, buildings, wind turbines, and other structures requiring FAA-compliant marking.
