The ‘OBSTCA’ obstacle lighting company has been in business(Sodium Vapour Lamp) for a long period of time and specializes in the production of long lasting LED obstacle lights. They are a very reputed company when it comes to the production of obstruction lighting for telecommunication towers, bridges etc., and area very trusted name in the lighting industry.
They have helped in the development of the ‘Neon’ based discharge tubes which are a new thing in the obstruction light business. The technology is based on the production of light signals from these neon tubes based on cold discharge technology. The neon tubes are enclosed with a protective shell or covering of double plastic coated glass and a metal cage which helps in its protection from earthly elements. This design of the above mentioned product helps in ensuring its longevity.
The production of such a gas based signaling system is done within the parameters prescribed by the ICAO and hence is safe to be used. There area significant number of advantages associated with such gas discharge tubes. First of all the light or signal produced by them is visible over a larger distance as compared to other light based signaling systems. In addition to this, the technology used in the product uses a lot less power. In fact the design is critically acclaimed and has even been ‘patented’
The protective covering of the product makes sure that the device does not undergo any sort of structural changes and keeps producing accurate signals even in the most extreme temperature conditions.
In contrast to other devices which employ a LED based compact design, the gas discharge technology makes sure that there are no inherent changes in the device during hot climatic conditions. In fact, they also have a very less tendency to hat up or produce unwanted heat or radiations that could be ecologically harmful.
