Product Overview
The MIOL-AB Aviation Obstruction Beacon represents cutting-edge LED technology designed specifically for commercial aviation safety applications. This dual-mode lighting system automatically transitions between high-intensity white illumination during daylight hours and red warning signals at night, ensuring maximum visibility and compliance with international aviation standards. Built with robust construction and intelligent control systems, this beacon delivers reliable performance in the most demanding environmental conditions while maintaining exceptional energy efficiency.
The compact, lightweight design makes installation straightforward across various commercial structures, from telecommunications towers to high-rise buildings. Advanced GPS synchronization capabilities ensure coordinated flashing patterns across multiple installations, while the fully sealed housing guarantees long-term durability without maintenance concerns related to moisture intrusion.
Key Features
Intelligent Dual-Mode Operation The beacon automatically switches between daytime white (20,000 candela) and nighttime red (2,000 candela) modes based on ambient light conditions, eliminating the need for manual adjustments or complex timer systems.
Superior LED Technology High-performance LEDs provide 100,000 hours of operational life with consistent light output throughout their lifespan. The advanced optical design maximizes visibility while minimizing power consumption to just 30 watts average.
GPS Synchronization Capability Built-in GPS receiver ensures precise timing coordination when multiple beacons are installed on the same structure or across a facility, creating uniform flashing patterns that enhance aviation safety.
Weather-Resistant Construction IP65-rated housing with cast aluminum body and polycarbonate lens cover withstands extreme weather conditions, operating reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +60°C and wind speeds up to 80 m/s.
Universal Power Compatibility Operates on standard AC power supplies ranging from 85V to 265V at both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, accommodating global electrical standards without additional transformers.
Integrated Protection Systems Built-in surge protection rated to 10KA safeguards the beacon against electrical damage, while the sealed design prevents moisture and dust infiltration.
