Internal LED lighting for wind sock

LED Windsock Lighting: Standards for STNA Masts

Our internal lighting system features LED technology. Dedicated to illuminating windsocks, it offers exceptional advantages in terms of longevity, durability, and ease of installation. Additionally, this windsock lighting complies with regulations by attaching directly to the hoop of the STNA mast, illuminating the windsock for nighttime use and visibility.

What is Internal Windsock Lighting?

Internal windsock lighting is an effective solution for improving visibility and readability of these wind indicators during nighttime or in low-light conditions. These lighting systems are designed to illuminate the windsock from within, making its position and movements clearly visible to pilots. This safety measure is particularly crucial at airports, aerodromes, and heliports, where precision in perceiving wind conditions is essential for takeoff and landing operations.

According to the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standard, internal windsock lighting must be sufficiently powerful to ensure optimal visibility without causing glare. ICAO recommends the use of such lighting devices to ensure that windsocks are not only visible at night or in poor weather conditions but also provide precise and reliable indications of wind direction and strength.

In short, internal windsock lighting is essential for aviation safety, allowing quick identification and correct interpretation of wind information, thus helping prevent air accidents related to poor assessment of weather conditions.
