Night Vision Friendly LED Obstruction Lighting
LED Medium Intensity Red Obstruction Light (L-864)
- Compliant to: FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345-43F (L-864); FAA Engineering Brief 67C ICAO Annex 14 (Medium 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 NV-L864LED is the smallest, lightest, and most efficient medium-intensity flashing red obstruction light on the market. The NV-L864LED is designed to replace incandescent beacons used for obstruction lighting of TV, radio, communication, and microwave towers, as well as chimneys, bridges, and other hazards to aircraft navigation.
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-L864LED beacon is the first LED L-864 beacon available to ensure that your structure is visible to all pilots, making it the first true LED replacement for incandescent obstruction beacons.
