The L550-865 is a medium intensity white flashing LED obstruction beacon designed for reliable day and night time marking of structures that represent a hazard to aviation. It incorporates the benefits of advanced LED and control to meet the challenges of the most demanding applications.

Originally designed for use offshore on North Sea oil platforms, the L550 features a robust base and lens cover capable of withstanding the harshest environments. The beacon's light weight and single cable installation make it ideal for multiple applications wherein a standalone light or system of obstruction lights are required.
