The SP-700 is a low-intensity obstruction light designed to mark obstacles with heights up to 150 meters. It is commonly used at airports and helipads to illuminate obstacles located within confined spaces, ensuring safe navigation for aircraft. The light operates effectively in both steady and flashing modes and includes a dusk-to-dawn function, enabling automatic activation and deactivation based on ambient light conditions.
Certified to meet ICAO Type A and B standards, the SP-700 emits red light at intensities of 10 candela for Type A and 32 candela for Type B applications. Its LED optics provide long-lasting performance with a lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours. The unit supports synchronized operation across multiple lamps using GPS/GLONASS technology, enhancing visibility consistency when installed in groups. Remote control capability further facilitates monitoring and management of the lighting system. The light is powered by a flexible supply voltage ranging from 24 VAC/VDC to 110-230 VAC/VDC, making it adaptable to various power infrastructures.
Equipped with a twilight sensor, the SP-700 incorporates a reliable day/night detection system that activates the light as needed. It also features lamp status indicators and optical element failure notifications, improving maintenance efficiency. The lighting system’s health is communicated through contact signals, with closed contacts indicating normal operation and open contacts signaling emergencies or faults. For convenience in large installations, the SP-700 allows chain connections of multiple lamps through dedicated leads and specialized sockets, streamlining power and signal distribution.
The power consumption of the SP-700 is remarkably low, requiring only up to 1.6 watts for Type A operation and up to 2 watts for Type B. It incorporates integrated overvoltage protection compliant with PN-EN 61000-4-5:2009 standards, safeguarding against electrical surges up to 36kA. The product complies with the stringent regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Certification from external accredited bodies confirms the unit’s adherence to low-intensity lamp requirements, mechanical shock resistance (at least IK08), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Constructed from light alloys and composite materials, the SP-700 features a corrosion-resistant enclosure protected by antioxidant surface layers. The unit is lightweight, weighing no more than 3.2 kilograms, and is mounted using a supporting structure terminated with a standard 1-inch threaded pipe. Custom mounting solutions are available upon request. Designed to perform in harsh environments, the SP-700 operates reliably across a broad temperature range from -55°C to +55°C and can be stored safely in temperatures between -65°C and +75°C. This makes it a durable, efficient, and dependable solution for low-intensity obstruction marking in aviation safety applications.
