AV23 Solar Obstruction Light Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting Pulse settings on Avlite lights operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches on the flasher unit. The pulse settings may be used to reduce the power consumption and intensity of the light.
It is best to operate at the lowest duty cycle appropriate to the actual needs of the application. Please note, Avlite models will retain full autonomy in normal operating conditions with duty-cycles up to approximately 30%. In applications whereby duty cycles exceed this limit, a reduction in light intensity is recommended.
