SP-102 obstruction light is red, omnidirectional aviation light compliant with ICAO, Annex 14 for Type A, Low Intensity light. LED optics generates correct light output in terms of intensity and chromaticity. SP-102 portable light is battery powered airfield light. We use standard deep-cycle batteries which can be stored locally.
For 100% autonomy SP-102 Portable Obstruction Light can be converted to solar aviation light by adding 5W solar panelRead more

Obstacle light (or obstruction light) is usually red or white color light that is used to mark obstacles, obstructions, buildings, cranes, bridges, non-servicing road areas, antennas etc. Obstacle lights can be steady of flashing, they also have different light intensity depending on the height and nature of obstruction they illuminate.
For different obstacles, different types of obstruction lights are used. It mostly depends on the height of obstruction – the higher the obstruction is, the brighter and more visible the light should be. There are four types of obstruction lights:
At the airport, Type A red obstruction lights are used in most cases. Obstruction lights are used to mark different obstructions at the airport like Airport Tower, non-servicing areas on the airfield, buildings, antennas, etc.
Obstruction aviation lights can be mounted on a permanent basis or temporarily. For temporary applications (e.g. runway reconstruction), portable obstacle lights are used. They are battery powered or solar powered aviation lights. In comparison, permanent obstruction lights are usually energized by 6.6A electrical grid if they’re mounted at airport.
Red obstruction lights are widely used during construction works at the airport. For example, a part of airfield is temporarily closed due to refurbishment of the surface. This is an unserviceable area which is dangerous for both aircrafts and machinery moving on the airfield. To indicate such closed areas, warning lights and caution lights are used.
