Never seen a blinking light on a tower in Norway. Why the difference between countries, can’t be that huge difference risk if some don’t have them?

- teslatree 1y agoIn Norway this is regulated by Luftfartstilsynets BSL E 2-1, and the blinking white lights on our towers are called "hinderlys", for example category "Høyintensitet, type B". They are not uncommon in Norway. If you go to one of our major airports you will see one on the tower. The blinking lights also sit on wind turbines and TV masts, and anything taller than 15 meters in rural areas or 30 meters in populated areas will have some kind of light on it, sometimes blinking, either red or white.
