LED Lighting Systems for Aviation Obstructions Improving safety, quality of light, and reliability makes financial sense David Jessip Dialight Corporation Strategies in Light 2011 August 22nd, 2012 Problems with Existing Technology Dialight • High power consumption • Short life • damaged solder connections of the contact pins • filament burn out • broken electrodes • cracked glass • EMI/RFI interference • Poor optical control = light pollution 2 Advantages of LEDs Dialight 3 Advantages of LEDs Dialight LEDS are the most efficient white light source • Solid-state semiconductor technology • Smallest light source available • Mercury & lead free material (RoHS compliant) • No fragile glass • No fragile filament • No corrodible contacts • Shock and vibration resistant • Long life (can last more than 100,000 hours) 4 White LED Trends Dialight WHITE LED TRENDS (Cool White In High Volume)* 25 180 Estimated 160 20 140 120 15 100 80 10 60 5 40 20 Efficacy (lumens/watt) Luminous 0 0 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Year 5 How do LEDs Compare?

Exercise extreme caution at all times when operating, maintain, or servicing. AVOID TOUCHING LIVE CIRCUITS Avoid touching any component or any part of the circuitry while the equipment is operating. Do not change components or make adjustments inside the equipment. DANGEROUS VOLTAGES CAN PERSIST EVEN WITHOUT LEDs: No high voltages POWER Capacitors can retain high charges. 11 LEDs = Long Life Fewer Costly Tower Climbs Dialight FAA MINIMUM WARRANTY Incandescent - 1 year (2,000 hrs) Xenon - 2 years LED - 4 years 12 Power Consumption Dialight 140 32 CD Low Intensity L-810 Side Light 120 100 80 60 40 Average (Watts) Energy As low as 20 1.5 watt!
