CKVR Barrie tower lights now in red
Just noticed today on the way home from the cottage the CKVR tower lights are now glowing an on/off red and the white strobe during the day. New rules in place for lighting? It seems they had many issues with the lighting system in general as countless times only one strobe would sometimes work and the rest of the tower was in the dark so I’m thinking the whole thing got revamped.

The Global tower in Muskoka (Bala) is now the same ordeal - white strobes and flashing reds at night. Must be new rules and tower lights are getting swapped.

It also could be an issue with the strobes currently (bulb burned out, or equipment issue) I have seen this before where REDS are the backup, while strobes are the normal. There is also cases, where the strobes are day time only. I'm sure there is a reason be it rule changes, or technical issue.
