Abstract
The present invention relates to a beacon light shield or an obstruction light shield. The beacon or obstruction light shield includes a base for receiving the light fixture, a plurality of ribs mounted on the base, and concentrically rings mounted to the ribs. The concentric rings include an inner ring mounted at a first distance away from the center of the base and an outer ring mounted at a second distance away from the center of the base. The beacon or obstruction light shield masks light from the ground at both distances and at locations close to the tower, and does not interfere with the function of the required lighting for the aircraft.
