The WL HI-200K is a high-intensity aircraft warning light specifically engineered for 24-hour operation to ensure air traffic safety around tall structures. Designed for daytime, twilight, and nighttime use, it is ideal for marking telecom towers, GSM antennas, smokestacks, tall buildings, and other potentially hazardous obstructions to aircraft. The system produces a powerful flashing white light, fully compliant with international aviation safety regulations including ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1 – 6th Edition (July 2013) Chapter 6 Type A/B, as well as FAA AC 150/5345-43F.E.B.#67 for dual L856/L857 classifications.
This robust warning light is built with a die-cast aluminum enclosure featuring a durable powder-coated finish, offering excellent resistance to water, shock, corrosion, and extreme environmental conditions while remaining lightweight. The light source is based on high-powered, long-life LED technology, which is protected by a UV-stabilized polycarbonate lens and ABS reflector housing, designed to provide high thermal stability, impact resistance, and superior light transmittance. The integrated optical reflector also helps minimize light pollution while maximizing beam efficiency.
In accordance with ICAO standards, the WL HI-200K delivers intensity levels of 200,000 candelas during daytime, 20,000 candelas at twilight, and 2,000 candelas at night, ensuring visibility across all lighting conditions. The compact and modular design not only enhances installation flexibility but also meets stringent optical performance standards. The system features a capacitor-based charge and discharge power supply, eliminating the need for traditional batteries, and includes an automatic intensity compensation system that adjusts output in case of driver failure on any channel.
The WL HI-200K includes built-in thermal protection, with an automatic power-off function that activates if internal temperatures exceed 90°C. It also incorporates an LED failure detection and redundancy system with failure detection rates (FDR) of 12.5% for 1-tier, 6.25% for 2-tier, and 4.16% for 3-tier configurations, ensuring operational reliability. Users can select from multiple flash rates including 20, 30, 40, or 60 flashes per minute, depending on regulatory or site-specific requirements.
For multi-fixture applications, the WL HI-200K supports GPS-based wireless synchronization and includes an RS485 interface with Modbus communication protocol, enabling seamless integration and coordinated flashing among multiple units. Additionally, its aerodynamic profile contributes to a low wind load factor, making it suitable for exposed or elevated installation points. With a typical LED lifespan of over 50,000 hours, this light provides reliable, maintenance-free performance for long-term aviation safety compliance.
