The Crouse-Hinds Series L-810 LED low intensity red obstruction side marker is designed for critical aviation safety applications, serving as a midpoint light on structures exceeding 200 feet in height, or as a top-level light on lower airfield buildings and extended horizontal structures such as perimeter fences and roof outlines. This advanced lighting solution combines both red and infrared (IR) LEDs within a single unit to ensure optimal visibility for pilots during normal flight conditions as well as when using night vision technology.
Incorporating infrared LEDs with a peak intensity at 860nm, the L-810 is specifically engineered to support Aviator's Night Vision Imaging Systems (ANVIS) and night vision goggles (NVGs), which typically utilize Class A, B, and C filters that can reduce the visibility of traditional visible-spectrum lighting. This dual-spectrum design enhances detection and recognition of obstructions, providing safer navigation in low-visibility or nighttime environments.
Each L-810 flash head delivers full 360-degree coverage and can be configured to operate either in a steady-on or flashing mode, adapting to various operational requirements. Built to withstand the harshest environmental conditions, the unit operates reliably in industrial settings with extreme weather exposure, including direct sunlight, windblown rain, winds exceeding 150 mph, high humidity, salt spray, and fog. The robust housing and lamp assembly are weather- and corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.
The compact and vibration-resistant design features a shock-resistant cast copper-free aluminum housing, a UV-treated, heat- and impact-resistant polycarbonate lens, and a durable silicone gasket to maintain seal integrity. Integrated surge protection safeguards the fixture’s electronics from electrical disturbances. Installation is simplified with a self-contained wiring compartment, eliminating the need for additional junction boxes, and threaded bottom hubs (1-inch and ¾-inch) provide versatile mounting options.
The L-810 LED low intensity red obstruction side marker is fully certified and compliant with FAA L-810, Transport Canada, DGAC Mexico, ICAO Type B & E, and CE standards. It also meets stringent IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings for dust, water ingress, and corrosion protection, making it suitable for demanding global aviation and industrial applications. This combination of cutting-edge LED technology, rugged construction, and comprehensive certification makes the L-810 an essential component for obstruction marking and airfield safety.
