Medium-intensity aircraft warning lights are aviation obstruction lighting systems designed to make elevated structures more visible to aircraft. They provide a clear visual indication of potential obstacles and are used where medium-intensity obstruction lighting is required.
The Al Rouf ARTX-MI (TYPE-A) is a Type A medium-intensity aviation obstruction light designed for applications requiring reliable and visible obstruction marking. The system combines high-efficiency SMT LED technology with an advanced optical lighting system and a three-layer reflective optical structure.
To understand the role of aircraft warning lights more generally, see our guide to What Are Aircraft Warning Lights?.
Elevated structures can present an obstruction risk to aircraft, particularly when visibility is reduced. Medium-intensity aircraft warning lights help make these structures more visible by providing a consistent aviation obstruction signal.
The appropriate obstruction light depends on factors such as the structure, required visibility, operating environment, lighting configuration, and applicable aviation requirements.
For projects that require a different intensity level, the appropriate solution may be a low- or high-intensity aircraft warning light. Learn more about Low-Intensity Aircraft Warning Lights and High-Intensity Aircraft Warning Lights.
The ARTX-MI (TYPE-A) uses high-efficiency SMT LED chips designed to provide high brightness, low power consumption, and long service life. The product documentation specifies a light-source lifespan of ≥200,000 hours.
The product uses an independently developed optical lighting system. Its spotlight angle is designed to meet ICAO requirements, while the three-layer reflective optical structure supports high brightness and long service life.
The ARTX-MI has a 3° vertical divergence and 360° horizontal output.
The housing uses high-intensity cast aviation aluminum with a fully sealed structure. The product also uses advanced high-thermal-conductive stoving varnish technology to support heat dissipation while helping reduce the lamp's weight and volume.
The ARTX-MI is designed for demanding outdoor environments. The product documentation specifies resistance to impact, lightning, sunlight, snow, typhoons, hail, and other severe weather conditions. It also includes over-current protection.
The light has an IP65 protection rating, an operating temperature range of -40°C to +55°C, and a specified wind load of 240 km/h.
The management circuit includes strong lightning protection and a surge protection device designed to support operation in extremely demanding environments. The documented surge protection rating is 5 kA.
The ARTX-MI can be customized with advanced functions including:
These options can support projects that require synchronized operation, remote control, or monitoring capabilities.
Medium-intensity aircraft warning lights are used for aviation obstruction lighting where structures need to be clearly visible to aircraft.
The ARTX-MI (TYPE-A) is designed as a medium-intensity aviation obstruction light. Its application should be determined according to the structure, project requirements, and applicable aviation specifications.
Typical project considerations include:
The exact application and lighting configuration should always be confirmed according to the applicable project and aviation requirements.
The product documentation references CAAC, ICAO, and FAA requirements and identifies the following specifications and standards:
The document states that the optical spotlight angle meets CAAC and ICAO requirements.
For projects involving aviation obstruction lighting, the applicable standard should be confirmed according to the project's location and regulatory requirements.
The ARTX-MI (TYPE-A) has a documented effective intensity of:
The product also includes a photocell stage of 50/100 Lux for light-control operation.
The ARTX-MI has an average power consumption of ≤10.5W.
The documented power supply options are AC220V and DC180V, with a power frequency of 50Hz–60Hz for AC operation.
Yes. The documented working mode supports flashing at 20–60 times per minute. The emitted color is white, and the light source is LED.
The main difference between medium-intensity and low-intensity aircraft warning lights is the required level of visibility and the application for which the lighting system is specified.
The appropriate intensity should not be selected based only on a generic preference. Project requirements, structure characteristics, applicable aviation standards, and the required lighting configuration should all be considered.

High-intensity aircraft warning lights are designed for applications requiring a higher level of obstruction visibility, while medium-intensity systems provide a different level of lighting according to project requirements.
The correct solution depends on the structure, location, required visibility, applicable regulations, and lighting configuration.
