The NAVILITE series are red fixed led obstruction lighting for hazard to low-flying aircraft.

The NAVILITE series has been designed for new installation as an alternative to conventional incandescence beacon light fixtures. It is also suitable for cranes, wind masts or GSM towers.

LED Obstruction Light Design

Theoretically at 20°C, LED lifetime can be as long as 100 000 hours (about 11 years). In reality, the LED's lifetime depends on many conditions that include ambient temperature, ambient electromagnetic fields and conception of the light like heat dissipation and power supply reliability.

OBSTA NAVALITE LED Obstruction LightsNAVILITE series has been designed on a one-piece moulded assembly.

Advantages of this conception:

  • good heat dissipation (LED's are sensitive to high temperature) : all the heat created by LEDs is dissipated into the air and does not confine inside a globe,
  • perfectly waterproof, no risk of corrosion,
  • LEDs are assembled in redundancy: failure of one led will not affect others and luminous intensity will remain compliant with ICAO minimum luminous output requirement.

The NAVILITE is available in 12V, 24V, 48V, 120VAC and 240 VAC with an external converter, ICAO low intensity or L810 type.
