The MIOLB-E1_xxS is a high-performance medium-intensity red obstruction light designed specifically for night-time marking of hazardous aviation structures such as flare stacks, chimneys, offshore platforms, cranes, and large storage tanks. This model meets ICAO Type B requirements and complies with rigorous explosion-proof standards, making it ideal for deployment in environments where explosive atmospheres may be present. Featuring a single-flashing LED beacon, the light emits a red output exceeding 2000 candelas in intensity, operating within a flash rate of 20 to 40 flashes per minute. The red color output strictly adheres to CIE chromaticity boundaries for aviation compliance.
Built with durability and safety in mind, the MIOLB-E1_xxS housing is crafted from die-cast, copper-free aluminum alloy with a corrosion-resistant finish. A high-strength glass cap protects the optical system while ensuring consistent light transmission. The light supports a wide input voltage range of 24 VDC, 48–53 VDC, or 110–230 VAC (50–60 Hz), allowing for flexible integration in various electrical infrastructures. It maintains an exceptionally low average power consumption of just 11 watts at 25 fpm (τ = 500 ms), with peak consumption reaching up to 55 watts depending on the voltage input.
Designed and manufactured in Italy, the MIOLB-E1_xxS is engineered for longevity and operational simplicity. It requires no maintenance over a service life of up to 100,000 hours and offers 360° horizontal light coverage. Installation is straightforward thanks to plug-and-play connections, and the fixture’s compact design ensures an extremely low wind factor—essential for high-exposure environments such as offshore platforms and high-altitude structures.
The obstruction light can function as a stand-alone unit or as part of a multi-light system. In multi-unit configurations, it supports GPS-based flash synchronization to ensure simultaneous flashing across all lights. Optional telemetry integration enables remote monitoring and management, while the Retractable© system offers enhanced accessibility for maintenance planning and diagnostics.
Certified to international standards, the MIOLB-E1_xxS complies with ICAO Annex 14, Volume I, Chapter 6 for Type B medium-intensity obstacle lights, and FAA AC 150/5345-43 for Type L-864 lights. It is also certified under the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and IECEx standards for use in explosive atmospheres, and carries EAC conformity for equipment safety in hazardous environments in the Eurasian region.
With its robust construction, high luminous efficacy, and compliance with global aviation and explosion-safety standards, the MIOLB-E1_xxS is a dependable and efficient solution for obstruction lighting in the most demanding industrial and environmental conditions.
