Independent studies show FireFly and BirdMark to be the most effective bird diverters. They have been tested by EPRI and recommended by U.S. Fish and Wildlife. They also have a lower installed cost than coils. Bird diverters from P&R Tech help utilities save birds, prevent damage, and avoid fines.
P&R Tech offers a wide range of LED obstruction lights that meet and exceed FAA and ICAO standards for marking towers and other obstructions of various heights. We also offer a numebr of different solar lighting solutions as well.
In remote areas, where 110V or 220V is not available except at extremely high cost, solar powered FAA & ICAO obstruction lights have become the preferred and often necessary solution for marking utility transmission towers, telecom towers, wind farm testing, airports, and other tall structures. Tapping into solar energy is simpler and greener, saves money, and keeps lights off grid.
