Recognising our position in the aircraft warning sector, orders are now in from our key distributors for the newest in the range, the SBB LED 10 Candela Aircraft Warning beacon.  Officially termed the SBB/*/*/LED/Type A/Red, this little beacon meets the ICAO regulations for low level intensity warning of aircraft.  Being a 360 degree viewing enclosure, the SBB Type A uses different LEDs from the larger SBE and SBG Type A products, offering a higher light intensity per LED, and meaning that the required brightness levels are met within the much smaller series B enclosure.

Series B is an IP65 rated enclosure, pre-moulded with M10 and M20 cable gland entries.  The lens fits with a specially designed O-ring and tightens on a bayonet-style fitting, securing with a tamper screw  into a blind hole.  Carefully designed to minimise dust and dirt build-up, and fully water-tight, Series B is perfectly suited to the outdoor environment, and with long-life LEDs, makes maintenance a thing of the past.

Heavy weight EPC castings, powder-coated white, are available in several sizes: the Q which has a 91 x 95mm foot-print, the M which has a 140 x 150mm foot-print, and the J, which has a 255 x 265mm foot-print.  Each has four external fixing holes to secure the beacon to a bulkhead, steelwork or machinery, for example.  The full range of colours of polycarbonate lens (red, amber, green, blue, clear) are available for these bases, and all the products are rated to IEC Protection Class IP65.

The J housing is a popular choice for many of the ICAO compliant LED aviation obstruction warning beacons supplied by deegee, known as the SBJ/LED. This product conforms to the Type A 10cd requirement, for low intensity aircraft warning.

All of the cast aluminium enclosures can take LED-based circuits. In addition the M and the J can take rotating mirror, xenon strobe, and filament lamp technology, suiting all warning requirements and costs.
