Smart Radar Technology for Safer Skies and Darker Nights

A Smarter Way to Control Aviation Lights

ADLS uses radar to suppress wind turbine lights whenever the airspace around the windfarm is clear – ensuring safety while protecting the night sky

Restoring Darkness of the Night Sky

As part of the Light:Guard family, Senture GmbH brings expertise in delivering reliable, radar-based Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems tailored to each project. With hundreds of successful installations across thousands of wind turbines, we help operators manage obstruction lights and reduce light pollution.

Minimize Light Emissions

Suppress obstruction lights whenever the airspace around your wind farm is clear — reducing unnecessary light pollution.

Increase Local Acceptance

Lower one of the key objections to wind turbines and boost community support by making installations less disruptive.

Reduce Annoyance

Avoid constant red flashing at night, so nearby residents can enjoy natural darkness and peaceful surroundings.

Built for Compatibility, Performance, and Ease of Use

Flexible ADLS System Architecture for Any Wind Farm

Expertise in both radar-based and transponder-based ADLS
Seamless integration with all major turbine manufacturers
High performance via combined detection tech and precise tracking
Scalable for large farms using proprietary or SCADA-integrated LCUs
Maximum safety through fail-safe system design
Compatible with ADLS-ready turbines from all leading brands
Optional standalone setup without SCADA integration

Wind turbines are key to clean energy — but their constant nighttime lights cause light pollution and disturb nearby communities. ADLS solves this by activating lights only when needed, reducing unnecessary emissions and preserving the night sky. Senture GmbH has been a leader in ADLS since 2008, partnering with top manufacturers like Vestas, Nordex, GE, Enercon, and Siemens Gamesa to deliver ready-to-deploy, regulation-compliant solutions across Europe.

Lights-Off Reporting

Track Performance. Prove Compliance.

Once an Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) is commissioned, Senture provides detailed reports documenting achieved lights-off times.

Our standard reporting includes comprehensive daily logs with exact activation times, as well as summarized weekly and annual overviews — giving you full transparency.

Through our user-friendly online interface, customers can monitor real-time system data for maximum performance insight and operational assurance.

Automated Light Control That Responds in Real Time

How ADLS Works

Radar systems continuously monitor the airspace around wind farms
If no aircraft is detected, obstruction lights stay off to prevent unnecessary light emissions
When an aircraft enters the activation range, the radar checks speed and direction
If the aircraft approaches the wind farm, a signal activates the lights via the Light Control Unit (LCU)
Once the aircraft leaves, the lights are automatically turned off
If no aircraft is present, lights remain off. If aircraft are within range, lighting is enabled
