An airport beacon light is a powerful rotating or flashing signal that serves a crucial function in ensuring aviation safety and aiding pilot navigation. Typically installed on control towers or elevated structures at airports and heliports, these beacons are especially important during nighttime operations or adverse weather conditions, when visibility is significantly reduced.
These lights are usually activated from dusk until dawn, as well as during periods of low visibility—defined as less than 3 miles—or when cloud ceilings fall below 1,000 feet. In many modern systems, airport beacons are automatically managed or remotely controlled by air traffic control to provide essential visual cues to pilots.

Overview:
The AO-AP-R2 LED Rotating Beacons are specifically engineered for nighttime use, serving as visual markers to help identify and locate airports. Their main purpose is to assist pilots in spotting the airport from a distance, acting as a key navigational aid—particularly during Visual Flight Rules (VFR) operations. These beacons emit rotating light signals with specific colors and flash patterns that communicate vital information to approaching pilots, enhancing situational awareness during the approach phase.
