4. TOWER LIGHTING. TOWERS AND ANTENNAS WITH A HEIGHT GREATER THAN 150 FEET SHALL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE RED BEACON OR DUAL MODE

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns new regulations for tower lighting. Towers and antennas over 150 feet tall will need specific red beacon or dual mode lights, unless the Collier County Mosquito Control District grants a written exemption. These lights must meet current FAA technical standards. Other towers and antennas should not have artificial lighting, except when required by the FAA, FCC, or other laws. If FAA rules demand lighting, applicants must follow them. This is a regulatory review, meaning rules are being considered. The work would involve installing and maintaining specialized lighting systems on tall structures, potentially including site preparation for electrical connections and compliance checks with aviation and communication authorities. Contractors specializing in electrical systems, low-voltage lighting, and compliance with aviation regulations could find opportunities as these rules are finalized and implemented.
