The TWR OL1VLED-IR (F) is a high-performance FAA Type L-810 low-intensity red and infrared LED obstruction light engineered to meet the visibility and safety requirements of airspace marking applications. Designed with both red and IR LED emitters, this flashing beacon is optimized for environments where both visual and infrared signatures are critical, such as for military, night-vision, or surveillance-integrated infrastructure. Controlled by TWR’s advanced LC-STAR controller, the OL1VLED-IR (F) not only meets but exceeds FAA specifications, delivering reliable and efficient performance for towers, masts, buildings, and other elevated structures.
Constructed with a Valox™ thermoplastic base, the OL1VLED-IR (F) offers exceptional strength, UV resistance, and protection against harsh environmental conditions. The housing is reinforced with stainless steel latches and corrosion-resistant hardware, ensuring long-term durability in outdoor installations. The fixture’s weatherproof integrity is supported by a neoprene gasket seal, while a high-quality porcelain receptacle adds further durability and reliability in high-vibration or extreme temperature scenarios. Installation and maintenance are simplified with a design that requires no special tools and offers flexible mounting options with both side hub and bottom hub configurations available.
This obstruction light delivers a 360° horizontal light distribution with a minimum 10° vertical beam, providing full visibility across all approach angles. At night, the beacon produces a minimum of 32.5 effective candelas, aligning with FAA low-intensity lighting standards. An aviation-grade clear Fresnel acrylic lens ensures optimal light dispersion, housed in a compact flash head that stands 7.5 inches tall with a diameter of 4.875 inches. The lightweight design varies by power configuration, with AC models weighing just 1.61 lbs (0.730 kg) and DC models weighing 1.25 lbs (0.567 kg). Hub sizes include 0.75", with optional enlargement to 1" or 1.25" as needed.
Engineered for extreme environments, the OL1VLED-IR (F) operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -55°C to +55°C. Its minimal power consumption—just 0.06 amps—results in a 96% reduction in energy use compared to incandescent systems, making it highly efficient and cost-effective over the long term. The unit features low wind load impact (0.2 ft² CAAA rating) and supports a wide range of power inputs, including 120/240V AC and 12/24/48V DC, ensuring compatibility with diverse site conditions.
Certified to meet global aviation and obstruction lighting standards, the OL1VLED-IR (F) complies with FAA AC70/7460-1M, ICAO Annex 14 Volume 2, CAR 621, and DGAC regulations. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, this advanced obstruction light is the ideal solution for applications requiring visual and infrared illumination with robust performance, minimal maintenance, and full regulatory compliance.
