Our aviation obstruction lights have 3 synchronization methods


1. Serial synchronization method

 All the lights that need to be synchronized are connected in series one by one.

This method has one main light and the rest are slaver lights. The main aviation obstruction light photocell switch is enabled, and all other slave lights follow the main light command. Our advantage is that if the main light does not work and the slave light still cannot receive commands within 15 seconds, the slave light will activate its own program and work independently.
Advantages: Simple operation, low cost。

2. Control box synchronization

  The control box serves as a function similar to a main light, with all obstruction lights connected to the control box. The slaver light photocell switch is disabled, and all aviation obstruction lights are set to manual steady light mode. This method connet cable is relatively complex, but the control box and photocell switch can be placed at the bottom of the tower. Any broken lights can indicate and provide alarm signals, making it easy to change the flashing mode and perform maintenance operations.

 This usually used for AC and DC aviation obstruction light systems.



3. GPS satellite synchronization

  This way no wiring is required, but a GPS module is needed for each obstruction light. Compared to network cables, the cost is higher and it relies heavily on GPS(Global Positioning System Synchronized Clock) signal. It is not recommended to use it in special areas with strong interference.

GPS synchronization can be used for solar, AC, and DC aviation obstacle light systems.
