2. Safety Measures
You must know whether your lighting system is powered by AC or DC before installing the
fixture. AC models work on a range of 100 to 277VAC and DC models operate from 12 to
48VDC. The lights are designed to be installed in a parallel circuit, which maintains a constant
voltage and brightness for all lights.
Ensure power is off before installing or servicing lighting fixtures!
Follow the local electrical code!
Make sure the equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are intending
to use it. Do not operate this equipment in humid, flammable, or explosive environments unless
it has been rated for safe operation in these environments.
Use only electrical wire of sufficient gauge and insulation to handle the rated current and voltage
demand.
Route electrical wiring along a protected path. Make sure they will not be damaged by moving
equipment.
Protect components from harsh environment conditions.
Protect equipment with safety devices as specified by applicable safety regulations.
Before starting this equipment, check all safety interlocks, fire –detection systems, and protective
devices such as panels and covers. Make sure all devices are fully functional. Do not operate the
system if these devices are not working properly.
Never operate equipment with a known malfunction.
Do not attempt to operate or service electrical equipment if standing water is present.
Do not touch exposed electrical connections on equipment while the power is ON!
Wiring and electrical design should be authorized by an electrical contractor.
To provide maximum protection from surges, ensure that the system ground is tested and
provides less than 25 ohms to ground resistance.

3. Installation
The FAA has published guide specifications for the installation and maintenance of obstruction
lighting products. FAA advisory circulars may be obtained by direct internet access or by
contacting FAA.

The installation of a new complete L810 LED light is similar to that of an incandescent light
source assembly.
1. Verify that all supply power is off
2. Use the below wiring diagram and ensure your incoming power is matching the voltage
the light was built for.
3. Connect the wires from the fixture to the wires from the power source
4. Make sure the connection is done in a protected, waterproof enclosure.

5. Maintenance and Repair
No regularly scheduled maintenance is required for the unit.
Flight Light warranties the light output of the L810LED to meet and exceed FAA requirements
for a five-year period.
Life time expectancy is 70,000+ hours.
The LED board is sealed inside the top head assembly. In case of failure the entire engine must
be replaced.
1. Ensure power is off before servicing the lighting fixture
2. Open the Clamp Ring that is holding the top assembly and the bottom casting together
3. Remove the existing engine
4. Run the wires from the new engine through the bottom casting and position the unit over
the gasket located in the bottom casting
5. Secure the unit by closing the clamp ring
The functionality of the Flight Light L810LED Obstruction lights is not affected by their use in
conjunction with another LED lights or another manufacture’s LED obstruction lights.
The performance and life time expectancy of the Flight Light L810LED obstruction light(s) may
be affected if controlled by another manufacture’s controller. In consequence, if the lights are
used with another’s manufacture controller, the warranty will be voided. We don’t recommend
using our L810LED obstruction lights with another controller, but our FL-81051 Series.
