Abstract
The present invention is directed to a high intensity light module for warning aircraft of obstructions. In one embodiment, the high intensity light module for warning aircraft of obstructions includes a first plate, at least one reflector coupled to the first plate along a length of the first plate, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) coupled to the first plate, wherein the at least one reflector redirects light emitted by the plurality of LEDs substantially along a single side of the high intensity light module, a lens coupled around a perimeter of the first plate and a second plate coupled to the lens around a perimeter of the second plate and coupled to the first plate via one or more standoffs.
Claims10
A high intensity light for warning aircraft of obstructions, comprising:
- a first high intensity light module comprising a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs);
- and
- a second high intensity light module comprising a second plurality of LEDs, wherein the second high intensity light module is stacked on top of the first high intensity light module, wherein a first optical axis of the first high intensity light module and a second optical axis of the second high intensity light module are angled to provide light emission at angles greater −90 degrees to +90 degrees in a horizontal axis, wherein the first high intensity light module and the second high intensity light module are parallel, wherein the first high intensity light module is coupled to the second high intensity light module via one or more openings of a top plate of the first high intensity light module and one or more openings on a bottom plate of the second high intensity light module.
A high intensity light system for warning aircraft of obstructions, comprising:
- a first high intensity light;
- and
- at least a second high intensity light positioned relative to the first high intensity light to provide 360 degrees of total light output, wherein each one of the first high intensity light and the second high intensity light comprises a first high intensity light module and a second high intensity light module stacked on top of one another, wherein a first optical axis of the first high intensity light module and a second optical axis of the second high intensity light module are angled to provide light emission at angles greater −90 degrees to +90 degrees in a horizontal axis, wherein the first high intensity light module and the second high intensity light module are parallel, wherein each of the first high intensity light module and the second high intensity light module of each one of the first high intensity light, the second high intensity light and the third high intensity light comprises:
- a first plate;
- at least one reflector coupled to the first plate along a length of the first plate;
- a plurality of LEDs coupled to the first plate, wherein the at least one reflector redirects light emitted by the plurality of LEDs substantially along a single side of the high intensity light module;
- a lens coupled around a perimeter of the first plate;
- and
- a second plate coupled to the lens around a perimeter of the second plate and coupled to the first plate via one or more standoffs.
