The existing beacon system was designed and installed by Electrical & Construction Specialists (ECS), Inc.

The existing beacon has the following part number: ECS-224M, it is only made by Electrical & Construction Specialists, Inc. and there are no known third party certified alternates available. To meet FAA regulations, the beacon must be replaced with the same part number. Our office reached out to Electrical & Construction Specialists, Inc. to verify the information above.

There are no out-sourced suppliers, vendors or manufacturers who market the ECS products. ECS manufacturers (and re-manufacturers) and markets its own beacon and parts with the intent to save the end user as much money as possible when purchasing these items."
