The Obelux medium-intensity white obstruction light, delivering 2,000 candela flashing output, is engineered for marking tall structures such as wind turbines, transmission masts, chimneys, broadcast towers, and bridges. This light is specifically designed to withstand demanding offshore environments, making it ideal for use on offshore wind turbines and other critical maritime infrastructure. It incorporates advanced features such as integrated fault monitoring, an automatic photocell for day/night switching, GPS synchronization for precise flash timing, and a cold climate version equipped with a temperature-controlled heater to ensure reliable operation in extreme weather conditions.
Optically, the light emits a bright aviation white flash with a 360-degree horizontal beam and a vertical beam angle exceeding 3 degrees. It also includes an optional Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compliant infrared output at 850 nm, enhancing visibility for specialized aviation and military applications without compromising standard lighting requirements.
This obstruction light supports both stand-alone operation and integration into larger lighting control networks via RS-485 Modbus communication protocols. Additionally, it offers an optional Modbus LAN TCP/IP interface, allowing for seamless network connectivity and remote management within the Obelux aviation light system. The embedded web server facilitates easy configuration and monitoring of the light’s performance.
Key functional features include built-in GPS synchronization to ensure consistent flash coordination across multiple lights, a built-in photocell for automatic light activation based on ambient lighting conditions, and a cold climate version (CCV) that utilizes a thermostat-controlled heater to maintain optimal functionality in freezing temperatures. The unit also includes a dry contact alarm relay for fault monitoring, providing reliable alerts in case of malfunctions. It features an interface for a visibility sensor, enabling adaptive luminous output levels set at 10%, 30%, and 100% to optimize energy consumption based on prevailing weather and visibility conditions. A hot start feature is incorporated to enhance performance in radar-controlled lighting systems by enabling rapid light activation.
The Obelux medium-intensity 2,000cd white obstruction light is constructed for rugged offshore environments and comes with a standard five-year warranty, with an option to extend to a 10-year warranty—the longest available in the industry—demonstrating Obelux’s confidence in the product’s durability and long-term reliability.
