Aviation Regulations - FAA

• FAA Certification Process

• Lights must be tested by an independent lab (ETL)
  
• The lab reserves the right to arrive unannounced
  at our factory and take random samples for
  testing
• Lights are tested for optical, photometric and
  environmental tests
• The lights must be compliant with FAA Advisory
  Circular No150/5345-43F
• US Military Standards and Specifications are also
  used in the Certification Process

• Provides guidance for Civil Aviation around the
  world
• Provides common Standards and Practices
• No certification
• Manufacturers self test and certify
• 188 Member Countries

13
FAA vs ICAO

• There is no ICAO certification
• Manufacturers self-certify to meet the
  standards required by ICAO
• No product testing required

• FAA products must be certified by an independent
  lab
• FAA requires additional product testing

FAA product insures a rigorous and well-tested
product
14
Aviation Obstruction Lighting

• FAA / ICAO recognizes three categories of
  obstruction lights

High Intensity L856/L857
Medium Intensity L864/L865/L866
Low Intensity L810
15
FAA/ICAO Lighting Categories

• The Category of Light Depends On the Structure
  Height

FAA (ft)

• Each Category has Sub-Categories

16
Day/Night Options

• FAA/ICAO recognizes two options for day/night
  operations

Requirements depend on structure height and
application. Always defer to the FAA
specification or local agency for details.
11
17
Regulation Takeaways

• White Lights in the day eliminate the need for
  paint
• Red Lights are only for use at night
• Category of light depends on the structure height
• Low Intensity Lights are always red, Medium
  Intensity Lights are White or Red, and High
  Intensity Lights are always White
• Red and White Lights may be installed on the same
  structure, but are never on at the same time.

12
18
Regulation Takeaways

• Red Lights may be incandescent, halogen, or LED.
  White lights are always strobes.
• The ICAO does not have a certification process
• Always defer to the FAA specifications or local
  agency to ensure your applications meets the
  requirements.

  light
• Basic structure consists of semiconductor,
  reflector wire bond and epoxy dome
• Color of the light is dependent on the
  semiconductor material
• In the past LED technology was limited to
  indicator lamps.
• Due to advances in technology the LED is becoming
  the preferred light source for many applications
  such as
• automobile tail lamps, dashboard lights, flash
  lights, signage and aircraft warning lights.

39
The LED Value Proposition

• Long Life
• Reduced lifecycle costs
• Energy Efficient
• Directional light source avoids wasted light
• LED technology can save up to 80 in electricity
• Instant On No Warm-Up Time
• Enables On-Demand lighting and eliminates quartz
  re strike lamps
• Full range dimming
• Environmentally Green
• No mercury content
• No UV issue
• Dark Skies friendly light where you need it
• Solid State Construction
• Vibration resistant
• Potential for intrinsically safe potted designs

LED Technology

• Making the transition from a light bulb to a LED
  Source
• Generally, a single LED cannot replace a single
  light bulb
• A Light Engine is required
• Multiple LEDs performing as single light source
• Optics designed for L.E.D. light engine
• Removal of the need for filters as L.E.Ds are
  monochromatic
• 70 to 90 instant energy savings

LED Life

• LEDs do not typically fail but gradually loose
  light over time
• No standard for defining LED life (useable
  lumens)
• However reputable manufacturers are adopting the
  term L70
• L70 the time to reach 70 lumen maintenance
• White LEDs typically have a useable life of 60K
  hours
• Amber, Red, Yellow, and Orange can last up to
  100K hours.
• Life is dependent of proper design of the LED
  system
