The SP-701 is a certified medium-intensity red obstacle light classified as Type B according to ICAO standards. Designed specifically for nighttime use, this aviation warning light is ideally suited for free-standing obstacles with limited horizontal extent, such as wind turbines. Its optical system delivers a light intensity of 2,000 candela in flash mode, providing clear and effective marking of aerial obstructions to enhance safety in flight operations. The light operates autonomously in flash mode, eliminating the need for an external controller, and includes an integrated twilight sensor to ensure automatic operation based on ambient light levels.
The SP-701 supports synchronized operation using a built-in GPS/GLONASS system, enabling coordination across multiple lights in wind farms or similar applications that require uniform flashing behavior. This capability ensures visual consistency for pilots and complies with international aviation requirements. The light is constructed using lightweight, durable light alloys and composite materials, weighing no more than 2.9 kg or up to 3.2 kg with synchronization features included. The enclosure is protected with antioxidant surface layers and offers an ingress protection rating of IP65 or higher, ensuring reliability in challenging environmental conditions.
Its efficient power system minimizes consumption, requiring only 15 watts during flash operation at 30 flashes per minute. The unit includes integrated overvoltage protection (TII, class C) rated at 36kA, providing robust defense against electrical surges in accordance with PN-EN 61000-4-5:2009 standards. The SP-701 also meets key compliance benchmarks, holding certification from external accredited bodies for ICAO medium intensity lamps, FAA, EASA, mechanical shock resistance (minimum IK08), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Designed for easy installation, the light mounts using a supporting structure with a standard 1-inch threaded pipe, and custom mounting solutions can be provided upon request. Its remote control capability allows for monitoring and management of lamp status, including failure indication of optical components. With an optical component lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours, the SP-701 delivers a long service life with minimal maintenance. Operating reliably across a broad temperature range from -55°C to +55°C and with storage capability down to -65°C, this light is a dependable solution for medium-intensity obstruction marking in demanding environments.
