The MIOLAC-M1_48S is a high-performance medium-intensity obstruction light designed to meet ICAO Type A and Type C requirements, delivering reliable and efficient marking of tall structures that pose a hazard to aviation. Engineered and manufactured in Italy, this LED-based light operates in dual modes: a high-intensity white flashing beacon for daytime visibility and a steady red light for nighttime operation. It is specifically intended for use on tall buildings, chimneys, cranes, water towers, cooling towers, and telecommunication masts where clear day and night marking is critical for air safety.
With a luminous intensity of 20,000 candelas in white flashing day mode and 2,000 candelas in red steady night mode, the MIOLAC-M1_48S ensures optimal visibility from all directions thanks to its full 360° horizontal light coverage. The unit operates with a flashing rate of 40 to 60 flashes per minute and complies with color specifications defined by the CIE chromaticity boundary. Constructed with an anodized aluminum body and a robust polycarbonate transparent cap, it offers excellent resistance to corrosion and impact, making it suitable for use in extreme weather environments. The device is highly durable and built for a long service life of up to 100,000 hours, with no maintenance required.
The system operates on a 48 VDC power supply, consuming an average of 55 watts in day mode (at 20 fpm, τ = 500 ms) and peaking at 250 watts during flashes. At night, power consumption drops significantly to just 30 watts. Its extremely low power consumption, combined with a compact aerodynamic form factor and minimal wind load, makes installation simple and efficient, with plug-and-play connections enabling rapid deployment.
For added flexibility, the MIOLAC-M1_48S can function either as a stand-alone unit or as part of a synchronized multi-light system. When integrated with a central control board, the light can utilize GPS-based synchronization to maintain flash timing across multiple fixtures. Optional remote monitoring and control are available via the proprietary Telemetry© system, while maintenance planning and servicing are simplified through the innovative Retractable© system.
The MIOLAC-M1_48S is fully compliant with ICAO Annex 14, Volume I, Chapter 6 regulations for medium-intensity obstacle lights (Types A and C), and meets FAA AC 150/5345-43 standards for Type L-865 medium-intensity lighting. With its rugged construction, certified performance, and long-lasting, maintenance-free operation, this obstruction light is ideal for aviation safety marking on permanent structures in all climate zones.
