Night Vision Friendly LED Obstruction Lighting
LED Low Intensity Red Obstruction Light (L-810)
- Compliant to: FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345-43F (L-810); FAA Engineering Brief 67C ICAO Annex 14 (Low Intensity Obstacle Light) Transport Canada CAR 621.19 DGAC of Mexico MIL-C-7989
Farlight's NV-Series LED obstruction lights combine the cost-saving benefits of LEDs, patented optics, and advanced electronics to ensure reliable operation in all environments. The Farlight NV-L810LED is an omni-directional, red, steady burning obstruction light designed for marking tall structures such as buildings, towers, masts, cranes, meteorological towers, chimneys and other hazards to aircraft.
What does NVG Friendly mean?
Both the FAA and Transport Canada have issued safety alerts warning that common LED obstruction lights pose a hazard to pilots using Night Vision Goggles (NVGs). This is due to the fact that NVGs typically use filters to block cockpit lighting from saturating the imaging system. This has the unintended effect of making LED obstruction lights invisible to pilots.
In response, Farlight has incorporated NVG Friendly technology in its complete line of obstruction lighting products. This technology gives pilots using night vision goggles unmatched visibility of airfield perimeters, buildings, and towers. Farlight's NV-L810LED light is the first LED L-810 available to ensure that your structure is visible to all pilots, making it the first true LED replacement for incandescent obstruction lights.
