Community acceptance and security around wind farms
Technostrobe present LIDS (Lighting Intensity Dimming Solution), a new solution that helps wind energy developers gain a greater level of community acceptance for their projects by reducing
the intensity of the lights on wind farms. LIDS technology can effectively and safely adjust the intensity of the light to the surrounding visibility present at wind farms. Light intensity can now be dimmed by 90% under clear skies conditions (10km or more of visibility). When the intensity of the lights is adjusted according to the surrounding visibility, pilot safety is maintained when they are flying near wind farms, and it significantly mitigates the impact of the beacons on local communities.

Fall arrest cable sleeve
The new SKYLOTEC CLAW Vertical Fall Arrest Cable Sleeve is designed to fit
a wide variety of wire ropes and travel along the vertical system while providing fall arrest when needed. Engineered
to fit 3/8 and 5/16-inch wire rope, this high quality, lightweight stainless-steel device travels smoothly up and down the vertical system without hanging up. The redundant safety features reduce the risk of improper installation and unsafe situations. The CLAW is independently tested to meet ANSI ANSI/ASSP Z-359.16, ANSI/ASSP A14.3, OSHA, and CSA Z259.2.5-17 requirements.
