Moltec Windpower Products Moltec now offers brighter ways to illuminate critical areas in wind towers and nacelles. Their new LED lighting systems deliver high perfor- mance and are a cost-effective solution for wind tower lighting. All of their engineered lighting and electrical systems are pre-assembled, pre-tested, and ready to install per user speci- fications. The compact and lightweight Moltec LED Sabre Light achieves industry photo-metric requirements. This allows for easy handling and installation within limited space without sacrific- ing lumen output. The Moltec UFO Light utilizes high-powered, high efficiency LED technology to deliver optimal directional lighting. As a result, the desired lux values are achieved with fewer fixtures. This system is a solution for down-tower lighting or large workspace task lighting. www.moltecinternational.com Technostrobe Technostrobe manufactures obstruction lights for tall towers. Their mission is to help pilots fly safely by providing innova- tive, robust, and energy efficient lighting technologies. The LED lighting systems can be combined with their LIDS (Lighting Intensity Dimming Solution) Technology to ensure the intensity of the lights on a wind farm are adapted to the surrounding visibil- ity, thereby helping the site become more community friendly. They serve customers in the broadcasting, telecommunications, and wind farm industries. www.lidsinfo.com TWR Lighting TWR is a manufacturer of obstruction light- ing, visibility sensor, and radar detection systems for wind turbines and tall structures that present a hazard to aviation. With thousands of systems installed around the globe, TWR provides FAA and ICAO compli- ant systems. TWR showcases their latest FAA L-810 temporary light, as well as their standard L-864 lighting system, visibility sensor and controller, and can provide information about their system compatibility with radar technology. www.twrlighting.com Lightning & Surge Protection Raycap Raycap offers the wind industry a variety of Surge Protective Device (SPD) technologies for the protection of wind turbines.
