[SBE] LED tower lighting

[Urban, Brian L]

We have TWR LED beacons at the 1/2 and top levels of our 597 ft AGL tower.   It is on the top of a limestone knob (950 feet AMSL) pretty much all by itself; nothing near that height in the area.  The site is grounded with chemical rods.  LEDs were installed in 2005.  We did lose a top beacon last year, cause unknown; TWR replaced it under warranty.  TWR also supplied a controller that has current monitors in it-packaged units (European manufacture I think)--I'll get full particulars when I make my site visit Thursday (some fool left the books at the site where they might be needed-oh wait-that was me).

I'm curious to hear from someone with LED beacons. How have they survived the top spot on the tower?

Also, has someone figured out a way to monitor the current draw situation that Cris describes?
