Obstruction lighting system configurations for high-rise structures

Aviation Obstruction Lighting systems are needed to visually mark your high-rise structure to ensure safe air traffic. The specific lighting system needed to comply with regulations depends on which region you are in. Why do obstacles need to be illuminated?

The law stipulates that buildings of a specific height and in the vicinity of airports as well as factory chimneys, towers, masts etc. must be equipped with obstruction lights. This special lighting makes obstacles visible for pilots in the dark or when visibility is poor. Obstruction lighting is one of the most important aspects of flight safety. Safety for aviation and in buildings

In the vicinity of airports and above a certain height, buildings, factory chimneys, towers, masts etc. must be marked with the aid of so-called obstruction lights. This special lighting ensures that obstructions can be clearly seen by pilots even at night, twilight or in poor visibility. This makes obstruction lights an important feature of aviation safety.

In building services, signalling systems must be suitable for a wide range of different applications.

Tall buildings, apartment buildings and skyscrapers are structures that easily exceed 45 meters in height and can therefore pose a risk to air traffic: these structures must be made clearly visible.
