No tower needs lights until an aircraft flies into it.... (or you get gigged by the FAA, probably less likely)

I just got in the building and checked the tower base didn't make it around the property due to the tall grass waist high On May 12, 2015 1:04 PM, "Lewis Bergman" <[email protected]> wrote: I just got a price on those while at IWCE and it was more more Than an entire new LED light kit.

TWR lighting is good. ITS light is also good. I would suggest Dual RED/WHITE LED to avoid painting. We had a simile situation and we were able to get an easement for $2000 one time payment. Took a lot of work to get it going. If you got a lease and don't own the tower the FCC has a ruling that leasee's are not liable for tower requirements.
