What is a LED? TechnoLights • LED - Light Emitting Diode • A semiconductor component similar to transistor or integrated circuit • Electrical current through the semiconductor chip produces light • Semiconductor materials used, define the colour of light produced
Benefits of LEDs TechnoLights • Extremely reliable: MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is millions of hours • Very long lifetime: light output degrades 25-30 % after 11 years of continuous operation • High luminous efficiency: 30 lumen/watt of LED light compared to 5 lumen/watt of white light with red filter
Benefits of LEDs (cont) TechnoLights • Shock and vibration proof • Small dimensions • Lightweight • Virtually no heat generation • Accurate and well controlled beam spread
ICAO Obstacle Light TechnoLights • ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) defines minimum reuirements for obstacle lights • ICAO low intensity Type A steady burning red light: • Minimum intensity 10 cd at +6° and +10° elevation angles • Vertical beam spread 10° • ICAO low intensity Type B steady burning red light: • Minimum intensity 32 cd at +6° and +10° elevation angles • Vertical beam spread 10° • ICAO medium intensity Type B and C, flashing and steady burning red lights: • Intensity 2000 cd ± 25 % at 0° elevation angle • Vertical beam spread 3°
FAA Obstacle Light TechnoLights • FAA (Federal Aviation Assocoation, USA) defines minimum requirements for obstacle lights • FAA L-810 low intensity steady burning red light: • Minimum intensity 32.5 cd lie between +4° to +20° elevation angles • Vertical beam spread 10° • FAA L-864 flashing red 20-40 fpm, FAA L-885 flashing red 60 fpm • Intensity 2000 cd ± 25 % at 0° elevation angle • 750 cd throughout a minimum vertical beam spread of 3° • Vertical beam spread 3°
Obelux LED Obstacle Light TechnoLights • Low and medium intensity models for ICAO and FAA requiremens • Special –HT-CST model for high temperature ambient • Contains appr. 30-70 pcs high-intensity LEDs • Power consumption <2-7 W • Estimated lifetime 15-20 years in continuous operation • Very low wind load • Variants available for AC and DC power supplies • UV resistant • Corrosion free • No RF-Radiation
Real Life Statistics TechnoLights • More than 50 000 LED obstacle lights delivered since 1996 and only few failure caused by LEDs or other componets • LED obstacle lights can survive even direct lightning strikes
Why to Use LED Obstacle Lights? • Maintenance free • Very long lifetime • Very low power consumption • Very low overall cost of ownership • FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND TECHNICAL DETAILS CONTACT: • RUE DE LA CHAPELLE • 8017-STRASSEN-LUXEMBOURG • TEL.00352-021-523078 FAX.00352-2611-9462 • E-MAIL: info@technolightssenc.com TechnoLights
