What action can be taken to improve the effectiveness of strobes located above 30 feet?

Improving the effectiveness of strobes located above 30 feet can be significantly achieved by lowering them on conduit or pendant. This action enhances visibility and ensures that the strobe lights are more easily seen by individuals in the vicinity. Strobes mounted at higher elevations may suffer from reduced visibility due to distance, obstruction from structures, or the angle of view. By lowering their position, the coverage area and the angle at which the lights are observed are optimized, allowing for a more effective warning signal.

Increasing the brightness or replacing them with more powerful strobes may not address the issue of visibility, as factors such as distance and obstructions remain significant challenges. Changing the color of the strobes could potentially help in certain circumstances, but it doesn’t directly address the issue of height and how effective the signals can be perceived at that height. Lowering the strobes effectively balances the necessity for visibility with practical installation considerations, making it the most impactful choice.
