Abstract
An obstruction warning system apparatus is provided having elongated optical light path members each having a volume capable of transmitting light therethrough and having means to interrupt the light along the light path to render the light path member visible at a distance. The optical light path members are supported on guy wires or to an obstruction and have a high intensity light source operatively connected to one end of at least one elongated optical light path member and a reflector formed on the other end thereof for reflecting light from the light source back into the elongated optical light path member. A switching circuit may be provided for switching the light source between a plurality of elongated optical light source members.
