For safe offshore helicopter hoists, wind turbine platforms must be equipped with a helicopter hoist status light (helihoist light) to indicate the status of the hoist. To complement our range of aviation obstruction lights we have, in collaboration with the UK CAA, developed a new status light – the L550-HHS – to facilitate safe helicopter-hoist operations on UK offshore wind turbine platforms. A flashing green light indicates that the wind turbine is preparing to enter safe mode and allow hoisting operations. A steady green signal tells the pilot that the wind turbine is in safe mode and that winching can commence.
