Obstruction Light
Obstruction lights, also known as aircraft warning lights, are safety devices used to warn aircraft of obstacles in their flight path. These lights are typically installed on tall structures such as buildings, towers, cranes, and wind turbines to make them more visible to pilots, especially during low visibility conditions or nighttime. The primary function of obstruction lights is to enhance the visibility of structures that may pose a hazard to aircraft, helping pilots to identify and avoid potential obstacles. They are available in various configurations, including red or white steady-burning lights, flashing lights, or strobe lights, based on the specific requirements and regulations for the location and height of the structure. Obstruction lights play a critical role in aviation safety, helping to prevent collisions and ensuring the safe navigation of aircraft near ground-level obstacles.
