[TowerTalk] Red light for the top of a tower.

[Michael J.Castellano]

The FAA is quite clear... if a tower is VOLUNTARILY lit or marked, it must be maintained according to FAA R &R.  This means specifications/maintenance/reporting/monitoring.

Novelty or not, it is lit/marked.

I would never recommend voluntarily lighting a tower. You ar eopening up a real problematic can of unecessary worms. When in doubt, file an FAA 7460-1.

then you are covered legally.

Been in the tower business 30 years... I could tell you stories!

73, and keep smiling!
