Hali-Brite has been manufacturing airfield equipment since 1979, initially as a refurbisher of DCB-36 and DCB-224 rotating beacons. A new, state-of-the-art illumination and drive system was developed and patented for these beacons (U.S. Pat. 5,339,224). Hali-Brite still refurbishes and installs these beacons today.
