[TowerTalk] Source for (4) 265 foot towers.

[Patrick Greenlee]

If it were me I would install redundant lights so as to not have to 
climb the tower when a bulb burns out.  Ditto for LED's as they can fail 
prematurely, especially in the environment to which they would be exposed.

Painting wouldn't have to be done often if done right to start with but 
one day...
