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, we have incorporated NVG Friendly technology into our fixture (IR 860 nm peak intensity), giving pilots using night vision goggles unmatched visibility of airfield perimeters, buildings, and towers. The L810LEDNV light is the first LED L-810 available to ensure that your structure is visible to all pilots, making it the first true LED replacement for incandescent obstruction lights.

Alarm Line Option

For AC and DC model fixtures, the blue wire (18AWG) is defined as the Alarm Line. When the red LED fails, the fixture’s input voltage for the fixture will be present at this wire. For AC and DC model fixtures, during normal operation (LED ON), it will have 0 VAC and 0 VDC respectively at the blue wire; in case of LED failure (turning off), it will energize the blue wire to the fixture’s input voltage, 100-277 VAC for AC models and 12-48 VDC for DC model fixtures.

Obstruction Lighting Controls

Lighting controls are designed for use when multiple obstruction light fixtures are to be controlled with common electronics. The electronic control module comes in a cast iron device box with threaded hubs on both top and bottom. Replacement modules (controls without device box) are also available upon request.
