Strobe type lighting is suitably visible during daylight hours that
painting is not necessary. One still has to meet the other requirements.
If there are neighbors in the area you can expect some complaints with any
kind of lighting system.
Quite a hassle indeed!

As I read it, every light needs to be verified operational every 24
hours by visual or automatic means and
when a top light is out only 30 minutes is allowed to notify the FAA
from failure, and re-notification is required if not fixed prior to the
NOTAM expiring plus
record keeping for two years of every inspection and notification.
It is not specified, but my guess is the FAA takes a dim view of lights
out for more than a few days. ;)
Plus painting and repainting when faded.
You REALLY have to want to go higher than 200 ft! Quite a hassle unless
the tower is exempted.
