The RL30 LED/IR has a robust construction with minimal service intervals. The luminaire has a base made of electropolished stainless steel of EN 1.4404 quality, which contributes to a long lifespan and good weather protection. The transparent cover is made of UV-stabilized polycarbonate.

The RL30 obstruction light unit meets the standards for ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and TSFS (Transportstyrelsen’s regulations) 2020:88 listing Series GEN for low-intensity obstruction lighting, with steady red light and for IR light.

The LED/IR unit is designed with individual groups of series-connected LEDs. Each LED group is powered by constant current generators. Incoming power is protected at two levels with surge protection. In this way, the RL30 is less likely to fail during overvoltage (lightning strikes).

The circuit boards and components are coated with an electronic lacquer, according to military specifications, to protect components and solder joints from moisture and to ensure a long lifespan of the LED/IR unit.

All new RL30 LED/IR obstruction lights are delivered with Both NO/NC alarm functionality. This allows monitoring and indicating whether the RL30 is operating reliably. The unit detects over and under-voltage on all LED and IR circuits. The alarm conductors are further connected from the obstruction light(s) to a suitable alarm unit on the ground, which may include remote indication, for example, via a mobile network.

With a 5-wire riser cable, alarm functionality is enabled on all our obstruction lights with 24, 48 VDC, and 230 VAC power supply.

IP43-rated lighting fixtures allow some level of air circulation because they are not fully sealed against dust and water like higher-rated fixtures. This ventilation can be beneficial for a few reasons, particularly when it comes to preventing the buildup of internal moisture:

1. Breathability: Since IP43 fixtures are not completely sealed, they can ”breathe,” meaning they allow air to flow in and out of the fixture. This helps to regulate temperature and prevents condensation, which can occur when warm air inside the fixture cools down, especially in environments with varying temperatures.
2. Moisture Evaporation: The small openings in an IP43-rated fixture enable any moisture that enters (like minor humidity) to evaporate naturally over time. In contrast, a fully sealed fixture can trap moisture inside if water or humidity somehow gets in, potentially damaging sensitive electrical components.
3. Less Risk of Condensation: In completely sealed units, rapid temperature changes can cause condensation to form inside the fixture. Since IP43 allows for airflow, it reduces the likelihood of condensation, ensuring that the internal components stay dry and free from moisture damage.
4. Component Protection: Protection against dust and rain from the right angles, the airflow helps maintain a more stable internal environment, minimizing the risk of long-term moisture buildup that could corrode or damage sensitive electronic components like circuits or LEDs.
