The WLS-10 Solar Aviation Warning Light is an advanced, self-contained obstruction light designed to enhance aerial safety by marking tall structures that pose potential hazards to aircraft navigation. This versatile lighting system is ideally suited for a wide range of installations, including telecommunication towers, GSM masts, radio and TV broadcast structures, construction cranes, industrial chimneys, high-rise buildings, stadium light pylons, and high-voltage transmission towers. Designed to operate autonomously in challenging outdoor environments, the WLS-10 provides a highly reliable and energy-efficient solution for night-time aviation obstacle marking.
Engineered around state-of-the-art LED technology, the WLS-10 emits a highly visible flashing red light that complies with aviation safety standards. The light source utilizes eight ultra-high-intensity LEDs with a luminous intensity ranging from 10 to 32 candela, depending on the configuration. The beacon offers a full 360-degree horizontal coverage and a 10-degree vertical divergence, with a visible range exceeding 3.6 kilometers under atmospheric transparency of 0.85. The light operates at a flash rate of 60 times per minute and boasts an extended LED lifespan of over 100,000 hours.
One of the most notable features of the WLS-10 is its fully integrated solar power system. It incorporates a high-grade monocrystalline silicon solar panel that charges a maintenance-free 3.6V/10AH NiMH battery, ensuring continued operation for more than 200 hours, even in prolonged periods of low sunlight. The total power consumption is only 1.8W, making it an exceptionally energy-efficient lighting solution. The system includes an automatic battery protection mode to prevent over-discharge during extended nighttime operation exceeding 18 hours.
Durability and environmental resistance are central to the WLS-10's design. The base is made from LM6-grade die-cast aluminum, offering excellent strength and corrosion resistance, while the UV-resistant polycarbonate lens housing ensures protection from weather and UV degradation. The light is built to withstand extreme environmental conditions, including thunderstorms, typhoons, and hailstorms, and functions reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to +80°C. Rated IP65, the enclosure provides robust protection against dust and water ingress.
Additional functional features include a built-in dusk-to-dawn photocell that automatically switches the light on at approximately 70 lux and off at 100 lux. A bird spike on the top prevents nesting and debris accumulation, while a steel safety wire securely fastens the housing to the base to prevent accidental detachment. EMC compliance and the absence of RF radiation further enhance its suitability for sensitive telecom and broadcast applications.
Designed for longevity, safety, and minimal maintenance, the WLS-10 solar aviation warning light is a dependable choice for marking aerial obstructions. Its combination of solar power, LED efficiency, rugged construction, and intelligent automation delivers peace of mind for operators seeking a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to meet aviation safety standards in virtually any location.
