Solar obstruction light

Solar obstruction light is a type of obstacle lamp supported by solar energy, mainly used on obstructions with potential risks to aviation, such as tall towers, cranes, chimneys, buildings. This kind of lights will store power in non maintenance batteries through absorbing solar energy and converting them into electrical energy for use at night. Solar obstruction lights are usually designed as red safety lights that are constantly on or flashing to indicate those obstacles and prevent collisions of airplane or other aircraft.

Working principle of solar obstruction light

Charging: during the day, solar panel will turn on automatically through lighting control, absorbing sunlight through built in solar panel and converting them into electrical energy.

Energy storage: the electrical energy is stored in the maintenance free batteries.

Power supply:at night or on raining days, the batteries will provide the power to the lamps, to make sure all lights work.

Automatic opening and closing‌: through the light control system, the lamps are automatically turned off during the day and turned on at night, realizing intelligent operation.

Strengths of solar obstruction light

‌Environmental protection and energy saving‌: using solar energy for power supply, no external power supply is required, reducing dependence on traditional energy.

‌Low maintenance cost‌: due to the use of maintenance-free batteries and light control systems, the service life of solar panels is usually long, and there is no need to frequently replace batteries, which also reduces the frequency and cost of manual maintenance.

Easy installation: these lamps are usually small in size and light in weight, which is easy to install and maintain. At the same time, they also support a variety of installation methods, such as wall-mounted, clamp-type, etc., to meet the needs of different scenarios.

Stable performance: solar aviation obstruction lights use high-quality light sources and circuit designs, with a long service life and stable performance. Even in severe weather conditions, they can work normally and provide clear warning signals.

Intelligent control: some high-end solar aviation obstruction lights also have intelligent control functions, such as light control, time control, remote control, etc. These functions enable the lamps to automatically adjust according to different environmental conditions and needs, improving the convenience and flexibility of use.

‌Wide range of application‌: suitable for various places where it is inconvenient to connect to the mains, such as high-rise buildings, explosion-proof places, etc.

Application areas of solar obstruction light

Tall buildings: such as office buildings, apartment buildings, TV towers, etc. The height of these buildings often exceeds the flight safety height limit, so aviation obstruction lights need to be installed to ensure flight safety.

Bridges: Especially large bridges and cross-river bridges, etc., due to the large height and span of the bridges, it is easy to cause obstacles to flight, so aviation obstruction lights need to be installed for warning.

Wind turbines: wind turbines are usually installed at higher positions to obtain better wind resources. However, this also makes them potential flight obstacles. Therefore, it is necessary to install aviation obstruction lights on the top or blades of wind turbines.

Other occasions: such as towers, chimneys, antennas, etc., these occasions also need to install aviation obstruction lights to ensure flight safety.

Trends of solar obstruction light

Technological innovation: in the future, solar aviation obstruction lights will pay more attention to technological innovation and research and development to improve the performance stability and service life of the lamps. Meanwhile, the intelligent control function will be further improved and promoted.

Energy saving and environmental protection: in the context of increasingly tight energy and increasingly prominent environmental problems, solar aviation obstruction lights will pay more attention to the design and application of energy saving and environmental protection. By adopting more efficient solar panels and circuit designs, energy consumption and carbon emissions can be reduced.

Diversified applications: with the acceleration of urbanization and people’s pursuit of quality of life, solar aviation obstruction lights
