Choosing The Right LED Obstruction Lights

By Leanne Goff


When you want people to keep out of the way of a dangerous area you need something to indicate it. However it is not always possible to have a sign for people to read. Therefore a better visual indicator is to use LED obstruction lights so that people know to avoid a dangerous area.

In some cases you may have to have some form of hazard indicating lighting. This depends on the kind of work you do. For example if you are doing construction work at a height then legally you need to have it. The amount of lighting you need and the brightness will vary depending on the environment.

LEDs can also be used in displays. Therefore if you are a company that is working on a road you may wish to consider investing in a display board. This will give people relevant information so that even though they may not be happy to be in a traffic jam they will at least be aware of what is going on.

This means that it will not burn up in the same way. Therefore if you are working in an extreme temperature it is more appropriate than an incandescent bulb which is more likely to break after increased exposure to excessive heat or cold. You may choose to use them purely in terms of a clear light or use them as part of a board and provide people with information.

A good example of this is if an accident has occurred. People can often get frustrated if there is no clear cause of a traffic jam. Fortunately you can also use display boards in order to give people up to date information and this can often provide reassurance or at the very least explain why there has been a delay.

There are different types of product available. The key differences to consider are the sizes of light you need, the brightness and the amount of them. This is what you need to consider when budgeting for the amount of lighting you are going to need for your company.

There is also the issue of who will install the lighting. You need to be sure that you choose a company that is professional enough to ensure the lights are correctly fitted and in the right position. This is especially important if you are legally required to have them installed. They need to be able to show that they have the necessary training and are accredited in order to do the work as well as being licensed, bonded and insured to work in the local area. Remember that the lowest cost is unlikely to give you the best service, especially if they offer to do work in exchange for cash upfront!

Ideally you want to look at three companies when getting LED obstruction lights installed in order to find the best possible service at an affordable price. Comparing both the companies installing the lighting and the products themselves will give you the best possible chance of the ideal result. Look online for product reviews and customer feedback in order to find the right choice for your needs.
