The Vanguard FTS 370i IR is uniquely designed to accommodate the latest developments in wind turbines. In addition to being certified to the new FAA specification (FAA AC 150/534-43J), this lighting system is designed to work with Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) radars from market leaders like Detect™ and Terma™. Flash Technology’s new FTC 370 Lighting Control Module (LCM) enables wind farms to eliminate light pollution and realize significant energy savings.
The compact FTS 370i is a fully integrated, stand-alone LED obstruction light that does not have a controller taking space inside the nacelle. Incorporating patented optics and industry-leading surge protection, the FTS 370i has proven its reliability through years of field operations. With both FAA L-864 and ICAO Type B certifications, the FTS 370i can be used in standalone or dual configurations (turbine rotor tip height greater than 500 feet) specified by the FAA, ICAO and other regulatory agencies.
