The Obelux low-intensity 170cd model W, rot ES is a high-performance aviation obstruction light specifically engineered and certified for wind turbine applications in Germany. This model meets the stringent AVV requirements set forth in the German federal gazette (BAnz AT 28.12.2023 B4 vom 28.12.2023), ensuring full compliance with national aviation obstruction lighting standards. Designed for reliability and advanced functionality, it features integrated components such as a GPS antenna for flash synchronization, a photocell for automatic light activation, and a switcher within the unit. The light also includes built-in fault monitoring and alarm relay functionality, enhancing system diagnostics and operational safety.
This standalone unit emits a red flashing light with a peak intensity of 170 candelas and an effective intensity of 100 candelas. It provides a 360° horizontal beam pattern and includes a vertical beam angle that aligns with the Feuer W, rot ES classification. The unit is also available in an NVG-compliant infrared version operating at 850nm, with configurable radiant intensity of either 200 mW/sr or 600 mW/sr, making it suitable for military and night vision operations. The infrared capability is certified as IR-Feuer, ensuring visibility under night vision goggles without disrupting civilian airspace lighting norms.
Engineered using advanced LED technology, the light is available in both AC and DC variants. The AC model supports a voltage range of 100–250VAC at 50–60Hz, while the DC model operates between 10–60VDC. Both models include robust overvoltage protection (Type II) and feature an isolated RS-485 Modbus interface for system integration and remote monitoring. The light is optionally connectable to the broader Obelux aviation light system via Modbus serial communication lines.
Operational resilience is enhanced with a thermostat-controlled heater to ensure performance in cold climates, and DC models come with a smart heater and deep discharge protection for battery-powered scenarios. The fixture is supported by a standard 5-year warranty, with an optional extension to 10 years, demonstrating Obelux’s commitment to long-term performance and customer confidence in mission-critical installations.
