THESE MARKERS PROVIDE SUPERIOR VISIBILITY FROM ALL ANGLES PER APLIC RECOMMENDATIONS AND HAVE THE LARGEST SURFACE AREA OF REFLECTIVE MATERIAL, GLOW-IN-THE-DARK MATERIAL, AND CONTRAST IN THE INDUSTRY

Of all the line markers in the industry, Power Line Sentry Hawk Eye™ Bird Flight Diverters provide the largest surface area of reflective material and provide the most contrast. These markers are the most visible in low light, which is the most important aspect for preventing avian collisions. This is because most birds are killed in low light conditions like dawn, dusk, fog, and other poor weather-caused visibility situations.

Hawk Eye™ Bird Flight Diverters have a 24-hour glow-in-the-dark band, highly reflective prismatic yellow bands, and unique tent-like shape that, when combined, provide maximum visibility from all angles and in low light conditions. This product was created in collaboration with an ornithologist optometrist and was designed to support APLIC’s research proving that contrast in low light is the most important aspect in alerting birds of hard to see objects.

Power Line Sentry covers insulate the energized portions of equipment and their connecting points with conductors, aka the “danger zones”. They are engineered to prevent electrocution events and power outages often caused by climbing animals (squirrels, rats, raccoons, opossums, etc.) as well as birds.

The adjustable design allows for a tight and snug – but versatile – fit. A tight fit is vital because a loose fit will not fully insulate a connection, it will provide an opportunity for bugs, dirt, and debris to infiltrate the cavity/cause a flashover event and can potentially damage the equipment itself from vibration/rubbing.

When used in combination with the appropriate set of wildlife mitigation products, electrical utilities see reductions in power outages caused by both wildlife-related and ‘unknown’ sources.
