You may have just answered one of the great mysteries of my morning commute. Recently a 2000 foot commercial tower was erected not too far from where I live. It has BOTH flashing red lights and strob

Sometimes local complaints about the strobes get them changed. I do not know the process, but I know in the area a pair of towers was strobes 24/day and the residents didn't like it. They are now str

Sometimes it does not take a complaint. Sometimes it is done to get zoning approval, and sometimes it just makes sense - use the strobe during the day and you don't have to paint, use the red LED lig

Our 800 MHz commercial site towers used solid state relays. Low voltage control to a solid state relay block. Only had one failure in 10 years and that was due to a big lightning hit. I retired 2005

I've noticed the same thing at my work place. We have a 400FT tower painted in the red/white configuration. At night it has red lights and then switches to white strobes during the day. 73, Stew K3ND

Because it's required to have WHITE during the day at a different intensities and then than RED at night. It's called a "dual mode" system. If you want the whole scoop. Download the 7460. Page 56 sho

In the USA a tower must be 200 feet or taller to require lighting or meet guidlines for painting or the types of lighting. I wonder what the regs are in other countries? Cal Zethmayr W4GMH == Send To

To be precise. ... in USA, any tower OVER 199 feet tall needs lighting. SOME towers lower in height ALSO need lighting, depending on distance from airport and 'glideslope'. 73 Don N8DE ______________

The rule is towers taller than 200 feet have to be marked and lit. Towers shorter than 200 feet may be required to be marked and lit if they are determined to be a hazard to public use airport facili

Another good reason for not living in Sandiego and has almost nothing to do with tower lighting. The FAA determines if a tower needs to be lighted and that depends on height (200' or higher must be l

The "locality" can also require them to be lit when the FAA does NOT. They can always override when it comes to lighting. I have 8000 towers I'm in charge of in 4 states and I have some lit because t
