[BC] Braintrust question

[Brian Urban]

We installed 2 on our tower recently.  No problems so far.  We did have one
with the lenses over a couple of LED sections detached right out of the
box--TRW replaced it immediately.  No user serviceable parts, in fact it is
blind (pop) riveted together. Operates on 120 or 240, no switching required.
Current draw is about 1 amp (vs. 10 amps for the 300 mm beacon) so the
current sensor on your lighting controller will not work without
re-calibrating (or replacement).  John Hettish has some information on his
website about an earlier version of this light.

Good lightning protection required.
