Daisalux is a Spanish company. Somebody chose to call or translate their lights as beacon lights, which is confusing terminology. It is not a good example. Here is a good example of beacon light:http://www.wolo-mfg.com/warning-light.htm

Beacon is a light or radio signal used to indicate a geographical point, like a lighthouse beacon. Is this possibly a backtrans?
With a separate power supply, it would be auxiliary or emergency (as Marina suggests) lights
Marta Mozo (asker) Nov 3, 2005:
I found a page where these particular "balizas" are described and they use the word BEACON.
Marta Mozo (asker) Nov 3, 2005:
The "balizas" are self-contained, they have separate power supply. Thanks!

The answer depends on whether or not these lights have separate power supply. Can you determine this?

indicator lighting

plenty of internet references
Peer comment(s):
agree Carlos Segura : Good suggestion, or alternatively safety lighting. In any case, I don't think this is emergency lighting, or it would specifically indicate so. Emergency lighting only comes on in emergencies, but balizas could be on in normal conditions, as in airports.
