During daylight hours the solar module will charge the battery through an advanced switch-mode regulator incorporated into the flasher unit. The lantern will automatically begin operation at dusk- once the ambient light threshold drops sufficiently.

The light is built from heavy-duty cast aluminium - subject to 7-stage powder coating, and offers users enormous impact and weather resistance.

This completely self-contained unit with integrated solar module and battery system saves users considerably in power, cabling and on-going maintenance associated with traditional incandescent systems.

The AV23 has been independently tested to be in accordance with the requirements of the photometric and colorimetric specifications for a Low Intensity Type A Obstacle Light listed in table 6-3 of ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1, 'Aerodrome Design and Operation', Forth Edition July 2004.

With minimal access for maintenance, stadium operators in Cyprus now enjoy hassle-free operation of AV23 units, installed as solar obstruction lights.
