IR-equipped LED dual red-white strobe enhances safety for pilots

The Vigilant LED dual red/white strobe with infrared (IR) obstruction lighting system are approved through Intertek to the FAA AC 150/5345-43G and Engineering Brief No. 67D standards. The addition of the IR LEDs to the standard red night operation, enhance the visibility and safety for pilots, including those who use night-vision goggles (NVGs). The product uses IR LEDs in conjunction with red LEDs to optimize visibility of critical obstructions under all conditions.

The new IR strobe features IR LEDs in series with the red LEDs, operating with peak intensity at 850 nm to ensure 360 degrees of visibility with the latest generation of NVGs using Class B or C filters. The dual fixture is fully compliant to the IR intensity and angle standards set by the Finnish Transport Safety Agency, which is widely accepted as the international standard.
