An aircraft anti-collision light includes a first group of light sources arranged in a first annular configuration around an axis (A) and a second group of light sources arranged in a second annular configuration. The first group of light sources is surrounded by the second group of light sources. The light also has a first lens structure, which is configured for generating a first light output from light emitted by the first group of light sources, a second lens structure, which is configured for generating a second light output from light emitted by the second group of light sources, and a light transmissive cover, which is arranged over the first lens structure and the second lens structure and which passes the first light output and the second light output for emitting a total light output.
