The Ultimate Guide to Obstruction Lighting for Aviation & Offshore

For airport and offshore professionals, obstruction lighting is essential. These lights improve aviation safety by making structures more visible. Moreover, compliance with EASA-ADR, ICAO Annex 14, and FAA AC 150/5345-43 is mandatory.

At Holland Aviation, we offer more than just compliance. Our obstruction lights are reliable, efficient, and durable, helping to reduce operational costs while ensuring maximum safety in demanding environments.

  • Smart monitoring – Seamless integration with control systems for real-time signals and automatic alerts.

Choosing the right obstruction lighting

The best obstruction light depends on height and location. Therefore, we recommend the following:

  • Up to 45 meters – Low-intensity red lights, such as HA-OSH150-32 or HA-OSH150-50, ideal for compact structures.
  • 45 – 150 meters – Medium-intensity lights (red or white), like HA-OL Medium Intensity, which include automatic brightness adjustment and GPS sync.
  • Above 150 meters – High-intensity white lights for maximum visibility, along with advanced synchronization options.
  • Offshore & complex sites – Flashing LED lights, such as HA-OL LED, featuring IR night vision and a lifespan exceeding 75,000 hours.
