Bringing to Light:  Changes in the Tower Lighting World

The FAA compliance rules for tower obstruction lighting continue to be updated.   Bear Poth will review some of the lesser-known changes in these rules.  LEDs have been around for many years; however, in the tower lighting world their deployment is creating big changes.  In addition, the traditional practice of procurement, maintenance, and monitoring has a new model: Tower Lighting as a Service®.  LumenServe℠ is at the forefront of this new approach to tower lighting and Poth will explore its advantages and implications.  LumenServe℠ has recently become a Sustaining Member with the SBE.

Poth is the founding President and CEO of LumenServe℠, Inc. and has an extensive entrepreneurial and operations background in founding and growing numerous telecommunications and technology-based companies during a 25+ year professional career. He received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Business Administration from The University of Texas.

    Non-members are invited to attend this meeting.

   There is a parking garage across the street.  Quincy is the nearest
“L” station.

    Please RSVP to host Dustin Hapli at dhapli@willistower.com. This will allow him to create guest passes with security and give us a headcount for the food.

    All guests will need to pass through a metal detector. Dustin will bring people up in bunches as they arrive.

    If you work for a station that is a tenant in the building, you may use your badge to enter as usual.
