SOLAR POWERED – BDS’s solar powered internally lighted windsock frame with 12 volt, linear super-bright white LED light assembly and solar powered Infrared ONLY configuration top beacon/obstruction light.  Model 740SPLWF-IR is used with our Model 740SPCU solar power control unit.

The frame is an electro-mechanical assembly with an outer ring for mounting the windsock. A 4 inch square tubing assembly houses the electronics and is used for mounting the LED light assembly. Delrin type bearing hubs permit the frame to rotate 360 degrees as wind direction changes. Electronics inside the tubing assembly transfers power to the windsock light assembly.

Our 740SP series systems have a 12 volt, linear super-bright white LED light assembly. The light assembly/bulb is ON whenever power is supplied from a power source.  Different flash patterns are programmable on our 12 volt internally lighted windsock systems.

Model 740SPLWF-IR is supplied with an Infrared ONLY configuration top beacon/obstruction light which is also solar powered.

Our standard windsock frame is 18” in diameter. 24” and 36” diameter frames are available on special order.

  • Ditto Model 740SPLWF except with a 12 volt solar powered Infrared ONLY configured top beacon/obstruction light. Top beacon/obstruction light is installed on BDS base plate assembly above the windsock frame.
