High-voltage lines are major hazards for low-flying aircraft. Placing beacons on pylons is not sufficient to ensure safety due to the very long spans of cable (extract of Aerodrom Design Manual chapter 14.7 annex 4). The BZ03 conductor warning light (created by Lansing ) is a beacon for high voltage lines. The power supply by capacitive effect ensures a constant light intensity whatever is the value of the electric current crossing the line, even without current, the BZ03 lamp remains visible with light output above ICAO minimum requirements.
BZ03 conductor warning light (catenay lighting) for high voltage cable for night marking are available from 500KV to 90KV.
Our BZ01 warning spheres made in Fibreglass are available in orange aviation, red aviation or white UV and Ozone resistant. The jaws are large and made in EPDM suitable for armor rod and conductor cable.
