Vanguard FTS 370i-2 IR wind turbine light.

The FTS 370i-2 is an L-864 red obstruction lighting system that meets specifications in the recently released FAA AC 150/5345-43J and is certified to this standard.

The FTS 370i-2 IR incorporates infrared LEDs for Night Vision Goggles (NVG) and Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS) visibility. Use of NVG and NVIS operations are growing in civilian aviation, especially in search-and-rescue and emergency medical transport. The FAA has determined that using IR LEDs promotes safer skies for these pilots. 

Targeted at wind turbines and other similar applications, the FTS 370i-2 IR has several major features and benefits:

• NVG and NVIS compatibility using 850 nm infrared (IR) LED
• Integrated unit without an external controller reduces congestion in the nacelle
• Patented Fresnel optics that minimize ground scatter
• Patented 360° light collector for accurate light readings regardless of turbine orientation
