The Obelux medium-intensity stand-alone 2,000 candela red obstruction light is specifically designed to mark tall structures such as wind turbines, transmission masts, chimneys, and broadcast towers. This lighting solution meets the regulatory requirements set by the Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea (AESA) in Mexico, ensuring compliance with local aviation safety standards. It integrates advanced features like fault monitoring, an incorporated photocell for automatic day and night switching, and GPS synchronization for precise flash timing without the need for external controllers.
Optically, the light delivers a consistent 2,000 candela effective red output, providing high visibility with a full 360-degree horizontal beam coverage and a vertical beam angle of 3 degrees. This ensures the marked structures are clearly visible from all directions, improving safety for aerial navigation around critical infrastructure.
The light is built upon reliable LED technology that offers low power consumption and long service life, suitable for demanding environments including offshore locations. It operates on a wide voltage range of 90 to 265 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz, with a fixed flash rate of 30 flashes per minute to meet strict aviation lighting protocols. The unit complies with EMC standards EN 61000-6-4 (emissions) and EN 61000-6-2 (immunity), ensuring it performs reliably without electromagnetic interference in industrial settings.
For installation, the product requires outdoor-rated power and alarm cables, with recommendations including 3x1.5mm² or 3x2.5mm² cables for power lines (L-N-PE) and CAT 6 or similar wiring for alarm signals. Combined power and alarm cables are also supported with a 6-core cable option, simplifying wiring requirements in complex installations.
Mechanically, the obstruction light features a durable painted marine-grade aluminum body rated C5MHigh for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh offshore and onshore environments. The glass cover protects the LEDs and internal components while maintaining high optical clarity. The fixture carries an IP66 ingress protection rating, safeguarding against dust and powerful water jets, and can reliably operate within a wide temperature range of -40 °C to +55 °C. Physically, it mounts using a standard 240 x 240 mm base with 17 mm diameter mounting holes. The light stands 333 mm tall, with a diameter of 270 mm, and weighs approximately 11 kilograms, allowing for secure and stable installation on tall structures.
Overall, the Obelux medium-intensity 2,000cd red obstruction light provides a robust, regulation-compliant, and energy-efficient solution for marking tall structures in Mexico, combining advanced features with durable construction to ensure long-term safety and reliability.
