Sec. 23.1395 — Maximum intensities in overlapping beams of position lights.

No position light intensity may exceed the applicable values in the following equal or exceed the applicable values in §23.1389(b)(3):

OverlapsMaximum intensity
Area A (candles)Area B (candles)
Green in dihedral angle L 101
Red in dihedral angle R 101
Green in dihedral angle A 51
Red in dihedral angle A 51
Rear white in dihedral angle L 51
Rear white in dihedral angle R 51

Where—

(a) Area A includes all directions in the adjacent dihedral angle that pass through the light source and intersect the common boundary plane at more than 10 degrees but less than 20 degrees; and

(b) Area B includes all directions in the adjacent dihedral angle that pass through the light source and intersect the common boundary plane at more than 20 degrees.
