Introduction

Background and evolution of standard revision

MH/T 6012-2015 replaces the 1999 version of the standard. The main technical upgrades include:

Revision dimensions 1999 version 2015 version
Lamp classification 3 categories Expanded to 8 categories (newly added A/C/D low-intensity, C-type medium-intensity)
Technical parameters Basic light intensity requirements Added effective light intensity calculation formula and chromaticity coordinate specifications
Environmental adaptability -40℃~55℃ Added 6 harsh environment tests such as salt spray and radiation

Core classification system

Obstruction lights are divided into three categories and nine types according to light intensity. Key parameters are compared:

Type Representative model Light intensity range (cd) Flash frequency
Low light intensity Type B 32 (constant) -
Medium light intensity Type A 20,000~100,000 20-60 times/min
High light intensity Type B 200,000+ 40-60 times/min

Key technical requirements

5.2.5 Chromaticity specification

Strictly limited by CIE chromaticity coordinates:

  • Red: x≥0.980-7y and y≤0.335
  • White: x≤0.440 and y≥0.150+0.640x

5.3.1 Light Intensity Calculation

Introduce the effective light intensity formula:
Ieff = ∫I(t)dt / (0.2+t2-t1)
Where t1, t2 are the start and end times of the flash


Implementation Recommendations

Selection Guide

  1. Building height <45 meters: Use Type B low-intensity obstacle lights
  2. 45-150 meters: Use a combination of medium-intensity and low-intensity lamps
  3. >150 meters: Type A high-intensity obstacle light system must be configured

Maintenance points

According to standard 5.2.16 requirements:
LED light source life must be ≥50,000 hours
Annually, the following tests should be performed:
1) Light intensity attenuation test
2) Chromaticity shift test
3) Control device function verification
