LIOL Low Intensity Obstruction Lighting for Tower Aviation Marking
Low Intensity Obstruction Lighting are lights used to visually mark obstacles and obstructions. These lights are necessary in providing a clear visual indicator and in preventing collisions in poor visibility conditions or at night.
Applications
- Airport Buildings
- Towers
- Power Substations
- Communication Masts
- Weather Masts
- High Buildings
- Chimneies
- Tower Cranes
- Bridges
- Radio and Television Towers
- Transmission Line
- Wind Turbines
POWER
Three different types of power technology are used to power these LED LIOL lights.
- Solar - The power is supplied by a battery. This battery is charged during the day using embedded solar panels. At night and when there is insufficient solar available, the units will switch over to battery power. This all happens automatically.
- Universal AC - Power must be provided using a power cable that can supply AC current (110–240VAC 50/60Hz). Can also be powered with optional solar and/or battery.
- Universal DC - Power must be provided using a power cable that can supply DC current (12–48VDC). Can also be powered with optional solar and/or battery.
LED TECHNOLOGY
All the LIOL lighting we carry, uses the latest advancements in LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology as a light source. The major advantage of LED’s over traditional light sources is well established in that they typically have an operational life in excess of 100,000 hours, resulting in substantial savings to maintenance and servicing costs.
Tower Climbing and Safety Systems
REV G Climbing Facilities
Rev G has made significant additions addressing climber safety. Two classifications of climbers have been defined. An Authorized Climber (also called a Basic Climber) is an individual trained in climbing but may not have had previous climbing experience. These climbers are intended to be limited to climbing fixed access routes equipped with safety climb devices. A Competent Climber (also called a Skilled Climber) is a professional who is capable of climbing on structural members.
Rev G provides requirements for climbing facilities by defining two classes of climbing facilities, Class A and Class B.
Class B requirements are similar to Rev F requirements and are intended for structures to be climbed by professional Competent Climbers.
Class A requirements are more restrictive in comparison to Rev F and are intended for structures expected to be climbed by lesser qualified (Basic) climbers. In accordance with Rev G, Class B is considered to be the default climbing facility requirement for structures unless otherwise specified. Towers can be quoted to accommodate Class A climbing facilities when specified. All ROHN standard structures are intended to be climbed by Competent Climbers only.
Safety climb systems are now mandatory in accordance with Rev G for structures exceeding 10 feet in height that are intended to be climbed. Some structures are intended to be maintained by bucket trucks or other methods that do not involve climbing the structure. Safety climb systems, when required, must be ordered separately for all Tower structures in this catalog.

Telecommunications Tower Paint
The FAA has established recommendations for antenna tower painting and lighting in the Federal Code Advisory Circular 47 CFR Part 17. While these are just recommendations the FCC has been given the authority by Congress to make them requirements. According to these requirements, a tower must be lighted or painted if its height exceeds 200 feet or if it is deemed an aviation hazard in any way. For example, short towers that are near airports must be painted or lighted.
Cut your installation costs with Our No Prime Tower Paint, perfect for use on untreated galvanized surfaces. Tower White and Tower Orange are protective coatings formulated with a vinyl/acrylic emulsion resin providing long-term protection and performance. These Tower Paint coatings offer excellent resistance to weathering, ease of application and freedom from fire hazard. This Tower Paint meets FAA regulations for color coding transmission towers. (Federal Standard No. 595 Colors, 12197 and 17875)
