Avlite’s AV-OL-310 is a self-contained, solar-powered, steady-burning low intensity LED obstruction light engineered to meet FAA L-810 and ICAO Low Intensity Type A and B requirements. Designed for both temporary and permanent installations, this versatile light is ideal for marking obstacles up to 45 meters above ground level, including telecommunication towers, wind turbines, airfield construction zones, buildings, and other tall structures. Its durable construction and high-performance specifications make it well-suited for the harshest outdoor environments.
The fixture incorporates a composite polymer top and base with an internal aluminum chassis, providing robust mechanical integrity and long-term durability. The lens is constructed from UV-stabilized LEXAN® polycarbonate, which is both impact-resistant and optimized for uniform light distribution. The AV-OL-310’s optical system features a single LED optic with a horizontal output of 360° and vertical divergence tailored to FAA L-810 or ICAO Type A/B standards. The LED has a life expectancy exceeding 100,000 hours, ensuring long operational life with minimal maintenance.
A key highlight of the AV-OL-310 is its efficient solar energy system, which includes monocrystalline solar panels paired with an integrated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller to optimize charging performance. Depending on the selected chassis height—Compact, Standard, or Extended—the unit houses either a 12Ah or 24Ah Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery. This allows for extended autonomy, making the system reliable even in low sunlight conditions. The light also features an optional external charging port for supplemental power input and an ON/OFF switch for convenient manual control.
The AV-OL-310 is IP68-rated for waterproof performance and tested to endure harsh environmental conditions including temperatures from -40°C to +55°C, humidity levels of 0 to 100%, and wind speeds up to 160 kph (100 mph). The system meets MIL-STD-810F for humidity, MIL-STD-202G for shock, and MIL-STD-202G for vibration resilience, ensuring stable performance across diverse and demanding installations.
For monitoring and diagnostics, the AV-OL-310 supports advanced communication options including remote monitoring via GSM or SATCOM. Integration with Avlite’s Star2M platform allows for real-time system status updates and operational control. The GPS synchronization feature enables seamless operation within larger lighting systems or infrastructure networks, further enhancing coordination and efficiency.
The AV-OL-310 offers three different form factors across its chassis range. The Compact model stands at a base height of 407 mm (16 inches) and weighs 9.1 kg (20 lbs), while the Standard and Extended models measure 504 mm (19 7⁄8 inches) and 564 mm (22 1⁄4 inches) respectively, with masses of 13.9 kg (30 1⁄2 lbs) and 14.6 kg (32 1⁄4 lbs). All versions share a consistent mounting footprint with a four-hole 200 mm bolt pattern, simplifying installation and retrofitting.
Built for over 12 years of operational life and incorporating field-replaceable components, the AV-OL-310 offers a reliable, maintenance-efficient solution for obstruction marking. Whether deployed on a construction site, wind farm, or critical infrastructure tower, this solar low-intensity obstruction light delivers consistent performance, environmental resilience, and smart monitoring integration.
