Think you'll find DOT will have objections to them, also 90% of our reg's
come from the FAA handbook. Your local international airport Gestapo should
be able to answer any questions you have,.(assuming you work at a smaller,
not major airport)

Just got back from a biz trip.. They make FAA aproved LED obstruction lamps.
http://www.pr-tech.com/products/ligh...s_led_main.htm

Realizing, that FAA regs don't apply outside the US....

Most of the airfields I see are switching over to LED because the lamps last
much longer, use less power, and are brighter/more directional than the
filement versions.

Ya, I talked to a guy last week and he found some that were "authorized" lol

The old in candenscents were replaced about every 6months depending on the
storms rumbling thru. But they had a fresnel type of lens cover that gave
all around directional "beaconizing" lol
It was the LED ones they were worried about because they don't emit
360...they're strongest from their end points...
