When lives depend on your network, tower lighting can't be an afterthought, or a distraction from the mission.

The public-safety lighting problem

Your dispatch and radio towers are critical infrastructure, but obstruction-lighting compliance is a specialized, around-the-clock obligation: FAA and FCC rules, outage reporting, NOTAM filing, and recurring inspections. It pulls scarce staff away from the mission, and a single unreported lighting outage becomes an FAA liability your agency can't afford. There's also a cost the budget never sees coming. A light goes dark from a storm, wildlife, or vandalism, and the fix is an unplanned tower climb on short notice, often thousands of dollars with no line item to cover it. Under TLaaS®, that repair is covered by your flat monthly fee, not a surprise emergency-climb invoice.

How LumenServe Helps

LumenServe takes tower-lighting compliance off your team entirely. With Tower Lighting as a Service (TLaaS®), we purchase the lights and manage them for one flat monthly fee, with no capital and no compliance work on your side. Already have operational lights with no issues? Our Peace of Mind program is the alternative: we monitor them, run your required inspections, file NOTAMs, and give you clear pricing on anything that needs repair or replacement. Either way, one contract, one point of contact, and tower lighting leaves your plate:

  • TLaaS®: we purchase the lights and manage them for one flat monthly fee, no capital and no compliance work on your side
  • 24/7/365 monitoring with NOTAM filing handled by our compliance team, so a lighting outage is caught and reported before it becomes a violation
  • Every required compliance inspection and observation on a set schedule, absorbed into one flat monthly fee
  • Peace of Mind alternative if you already have operational lights: we monitor, inspect, and give you clear pricing on any repair or replacement
  • Best-in-class LED with an Assurance Warranty on the systems we install or cover, replacing any component at our cost
  • Avetta-certified, ISN-registered, high-angle-certified crews, so you outsource the safety and liability entirely
  • Aviation-lighting specialists who track every FAA circular, so your systems stay in spec as the rules change
  • TIPS-USA cooperative contract, an option that can satisfy competitive-procurement requirements without a separate RFP
  • The LumenServe℠ Price Guarantee: up to five (5) years of flat-rate pricing with full upfront transparency, so your compliance cost is a number you can budget, not a surprise you absorb

Questions Agencies Ask

Public-safety tower lighting compliance, answered.

What FAA and FCC rules apply to public-safety tower lighting?
Structures over 200 feet generally require FAA obstruction lighting, and the FCC governs registration, monitoring, and outage reporting for registered antenna structures under 47 CFR Part 17. Most dispatch and emergency-communications towers are subject to both. See our complete guide to FAA tower lighting compliance.
How fast does a lighting outage have to be reported?
Under 47 CFR §17.48, any obstruction-light outage not corrected within 30 minutes must be reported so the FAA can issue a NOTAM, and the owner keeps that notice current until the light is repaired. LumenServe's compliance team monitors for outages and handles the filing for you.
We already have lights on our towers. Do we have to replace them?
No. Our Peace of Mind program works with your existing lighting: we monitor it around the clock, run your required compliance inspections, and give you clear pricing on anything that needs repair or replacement, so you keep what works and only invest where you have to.
How can an agency buy without issuing a full RFP?
Through the TIPS-USA cooperative purchasing contract, which satisfies competitive-procurement requirements without a separate RFP.
Do we need capital budget to bring towers into compliance?
No. Under TLaaS®, LumenServe purchases the lights and you pay a flat monthly operating fee, so lighting fits an operating budget instead of competing for capital.
What changed with FAA AC 70/7460-1M?
Change 1 (October 29, 2024) added night-vision-goggle (NVG) compatibility: red LED obstruction lights now need infrared emitters so NVG-equipped pilots can see them. Recent LED upgrades may need review. See our breakdown of the infrared requirement.
