For objects less than 150 feet, what lights identify the object at night?

Explanation:
The light pattern used for small obstructions at night is a steady burning light mounted at the top. This provides a continuous, unambiguous signal of the obstruction’s location, visible from a distance and in all directions, without the motion or variation that a rotating beacon or flashing light would have. For objects under about 150 feet, this steady top light is the standard way to identify them at night. Rotating beacons or flashing lights are typically reserved for different situations or taller structures, and daytime markers are not used at night.
