PoleLite™
Self-Illuminated Tower Light

How do you do meet FAA standards for lighting towers and monopoles in locations where hardwired or solar lights are not feasible? Driving two steady red L-810 IR-LED lights, PoleLite meets and exceeds FAA and ICAO standards for identifying towers and monopoles up to 150 feet high. PoleLite is self-illuminating (no wiring needed) and attaches directly to the live conductor near the tower.

PoleLite can be installed in nearly any tower lighting location, even where hardwired or solar powered FAA lights are possible. Installation is simple, taking only minutes, and avoids the cost of hardwired or solar installations.

• PoleLite meets or exceeds FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1M (Nov. 2020), which calls for two steady red L-810 FAA lights on structures up to 150 feet tall.
• Our patented Flux Capacitor utilizes the excess electrical field around the line to illuminate two steady red FAA L-810 IR-LED lights. The infrared LEDs are visible to pilots wearing night vision goggles (per FAA Engineering Brief No. 98).
• The line must carry 40–2,000 Amps to properly illuminate both lights at the required 32.5 candela each.
• PoleLite installs directly on any live conductor carrying 15 kV to 500 kV.
• PoleLite can also be flashed and is available either with red IR LEDs, or with green LEDs.
• LED technology ensures many years of operation with little or no maintenance.
• PoleLite employs the same technology used in our SpanLiteTM self-illuminated power line marker, which has been installed worldwide since 2006.

PoleLite Materials & Installation

• The aluminum housing is 12″ in diameter and its wall is less than 0.1″ thick.
• The housing is powder coated with black acrylic poly paint, then baked for a durable paint finish.
• The lower half of PoleLite is installed on the line with two U-bolt clamps (inside the housing) for secure attachment to lines up to 2″ in diameter. The top half of PoleLite is then bolted on to complete the installation.
• It is recommended that armor rods
