740SP SERIES – Solar Powered Internally Lighted Windsock Systems
For remote locations or where electrical power is not practical to suppy, BDS offers a completly self-contained, solar-powered version of our 740 Series – 12 Volt DC Powered Internally Lighted Windsock Systems. Solar powered means no external power as well as zero energy costs. Installation can be dramatically less expensive without the need for trenching, cabling, or electrical services.
Our 740SP Series Solar Powered Internally Lighted Windsock Systems are based off a 12 volt operation. Only 12 volts DC is required to illuminate the windsock and optional top beacon/obstruction light. The 740SP solar powered systems utilize a 12 volt, linear super-bright white LED light assembly to internally light the windsock. The frame can be supplied with an optional solar powered top beacon/obstruction light.
