FEC’s dual obstruction light is engineered to deliver enhanced safety and long-lasting performance in remote and demanding environments. Designed with minimal maintenance requirements in mind, this dual obstruction light system offers dependable 24/7 operation with options for steady-on functionality or an integrated photocell that activates the lights only when needed—thereby extending the operational life of the unit. Its rugged and lightweight construction makes it well-suited for installations in aviation, offshore platforms, and other critical obstruction marking applications.
The optical assembly of the light is hermetically sealed to protect internal components from moisture, dust, and environmental contaminants, ensuring reliable performance in extreme conditions. Each unit comes backed by a three-year warranty for added peace of mind. The light system includes a standard infrared (IR) capability for NVG (night vision goggle) compatibility, providing visibility for both visual and night operations. The pre-wired configuration allows for fast and efficient installation on-site, reducing setup time and labor requirements.
Built to meet or exceed multiple international standards, the FEC dual obstruction light complies with FAA L-810 (EB98), ICAO Annex 14, CAP 437, CAA guidelines, and UL1598, affirming its suitability for aviation, maritime, and other regulated applications. The fixture is powered at 120V or 277V, consuming a maximum of just 12 watts at 0.4 amps (at 120V), which translates to significant energy efficiency. Operating reliably within a temperature range of -13°F to 122°F (-25°C to +50°C), the system is equipped with omni-directional LED lamps that offer a rated lifespan of over 50,000 hours.
At the core of the lighting unit is one OSLON SSL 150 LED with optic for general illumination, complemented by three OSLON Black IR diodes to support infrared visibility. The physical design includes a low-profile glass lens that enhances visibility while minimizing obstructions, improving safety for both personnel and aircraft. The fixture’s housing is manufactured from mil-spec anodized cast aluminum, treated per MIL-A-8625 Type II, Class 1 for durability and corrosion resistance. It is paired with a black-painted steel support structure, combining a gray and black color scheme that blends strength with functionality.
The complete light fixture stands approximately 23 inches tall and 15 inches wide, while each individual light unit measures about 4 inches in height and 4 ¾ inches in width. With its military-grade construction, high-performance LED components, and compliance with global aviation and obstruction lighting standards, the FEC dual obstruction light is a robust, field-proven solution ideal for marking critical structures in some of the world’s most challenging operational environments.
