Product Overview
The Dialight L-856 / L-864 High Intensity White / Red Strobe System, herein referred
to as the System, is designed to for the lighting of tall structures such as television and radio
towers, chimneys, cooling towers, tall buildings, wind generators and other obstructions to
aerial navigation, per specification by the FAA.
This product uses LED technology within each Flash Head to produce white strobe
light. Unlike conventional xenon flashtube technology, little or no maintenance is required
during the lifetime of this System. Working voltages within this System never exceed 200
Volts DC. Therefore by significantly lowering the working voltage with respect to Xenon white
strobes, this System represents an advance in obstruction lighting safety and efficiency.
One Base Controller Enclosure is required to enable the System regardless of system
scale. For example a System with three Flash Heads and a System with eighteen Flash
Heads both need the same Base Controller Enclosure to operate.
With the use and proper setup of the Base Controller each of the below systems can
be configured through the LCD display.
White Only System
The System may comprise up to eighteen L-856 High Intensity White Strobe Flash
Heads; each with a corresponding Power Supply Enclosure, e.g. one Power Supply
Enclosure per Flash Head. The Flash Heads are typically distributed as three per level on up
to six levels, for a maximum of eighteen Flash Heads.
Red/White System
The System may comprise up to eighteen L-856/864 High IntensityWhite Strobe Flash
Heads which have the RED L-864 included in each of the LED modules. Each has a
corresponding Power Supply Enclosure, e.g. one Power Supply Enclosure per Flash Head.
The Flash Heads are typically distributed as three per level on up to six levels, for a maximum
of eighteen Flash Heads. L810 Marker Lights are also monitored through the base controller.
AOL Strobe
Additionally, one L-864/L-865 Medium Intensity Strobe may be integrated into the
system as an Antenna Obstruction Light (AOL). The Base Controller will synchronize,
monitor, and control the entire System, as well the Antenna Obstruction Lights.
