The rise of modern technological advancements has been very beneficial for humankind. It has made everything easier, faster, and more comfortable, especially when it comes to travel from one place to the other. One such example is the aircraft. This mode of transportation has changed the way people get from place to place, forever.

Even though experts adamantly say that air travel is a lot more safer than that of land and sea, of course there are still some dangers attached to it. As of late, the world has been thoroughly shocked at the increased number of plane crashes that has led to the untimely and painful death of so many people. Due to these dangers posed by air travel, authorities have increased their safety measures as well, among these is the use of <A href="http://www.led-obstructionlighting.com">led obstruction lights</A>.

These also come by the name aircraft warning lights. These are high intensity lighting materials that are affixed to tall structures. They are placed so as to serve as some form of collision avoidance measures. They are used all day, most especially when it gets dark, so as to warn pilots of the existence of the said structure.

Aside from warning lights, other stuff can also serve the self same purpose. These are called obstacle markers. They can come in the form of the well known obstruction lighting fixtures, flags, or colored patterns. The flags are to be displayed on top and around the highest edge of an object. The patterns are consisted of rectangles not less than 1.5 meters, but no more than 3 meters.

The lamps, on the other hand, are only placed on top of the highest points in infrastructures. These lights are supposedly placed in well thought of areas, according to their classification. The low intensity ones are those that should be placed in heights that does not exceed the set height of about forty five meters. These are characterized by red lights of no less than ten candelas in intensity.

The second big group is called the medium intensity lights. They are used for heights that exceed the forty five meter mark of the low intensity group. Instead of a red color, the medium beacons sport a clearly visible white color to alert passing airplanes.

The last group is called the high intensity. They are used in dizzying heights of one hundred and fifty meters or more. Like the medium group, these lights are also colored white. They should have the standard minimum intensity of two thousand candelas. Some infrastructures use lamps with a higher number of intensity, even.

There are many types of bulbs used in these warning signals, but the most used is the LED type. Light Emitting Diodes are the latest products kn the industry, and has many promising benefits. It is said that the LED is far better than the incandescent and fluorescent when it comes to performance.

The types of bulbs are also believed to have longer life span as compared to the others. One LED bulb can last up to sixty thousand hours of usage. They are also widely used for their energy efficient characteristics, as they allow energy savings for up to ninety percent.
