Aircraft warning spheres, also known as aviation obstruction balls or marker balls, are commonly used to mark transmission lines to enhance their visibility to low-flying aircraft, especially during adverse weather conditions or at night. These marker balls are typically bright orange in color, which provides high visibility during the day, and they often feature reflective strips to enhance visibility during nighttime operations.

Aircraft warning spheres, also known as aviation obstruction balls or marker balls, are commonly used to mark transmission lines to enhance their visibility to low-flying aircraft, especially during adverse weather conditions or at night. These marker balls are typically bright orange in color, which provides high visibility during the day, and they often feature reflective strips to enhance visibility during nighttime operations.

The orange color is chosen for its high contrast against most backgrounds, making it easier for pilots to spot these markers. The reflective strips further improve visibility by reflecting light from aircraft navigation lights or other light sources.
These marker balls are usually attached to transmission lines at regular intervals using specialized mounting hardware. They serve as visual aids to help pilots navigate safely around the transmission lines, reducing the risk of collisions.
In addition to their use on transmission lines, similar marker balls may also be employed on other types of structures, such as tall buildings, towers, and bridges, to alert pilots to potential hazards.

ICAO Compliance: LED Heliport Approach Path Indicators (CHAPI Light) & LED Airport Precision Approach Path Indicators ( PAPI Light) ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) sets essential safety standards for aviation lighting, including for Heliport Approach Path Indicators (Green/Red/White CHAPI Lights) and Precision Approach Path Indicators (Red/White PAPI Lights). These systems help pilots maintain the correct glide path during approach and landing, improving safety and reducing risk.

Installation & Commissioning of Medium-Intensity Obstruction Lighting System for Transmission Lines Medium-Intensity Type A obstruction lights are white flashing lights used for marking tall structures like transmission towers, especially in areas near flight paths. They emit a light intensity of 2000–20000 candela (cd) and are designed for visibility during day and night.

Aircraft Warning Spheres are critical for marking overhead power lines and towers near flight paths. Installed on the highest cables, these bright spheres help pilots spot potential hazards—especially in low visibility or challenging terrain. ✅ ICAO & FAA compliant ✅ Available in 600mm, 800mm, and 1300mm diameters ✅ Aviation orange, white, and yellow for maximum visibility ✅ Spacing: 30–45 meters depending on sphere size Whether for power grids, bridges, or river crossings—mark it safe, mark it smart.
