What is used to make power lines clear to see?

Tiger Tails are specialized markers used on power lines to increase their visibility and help prevent accidents, particularly during low light conditions or in areas with potential air or ground traffic. These brightly colored, flexible markers hang from power lines and create a visual warning for pilots, drone operators, and others who may be at risk of colliding with them. Their design, often incorporating vivid colors, makes them easily recognizable, thereby enhancing safety around power line installations.

In contrast, while warning flags, reflective tape, and signal lights can also be used for visibility and safety purposes, they do not serve the specific purpose of marking overhead power lines. Warning flags are generally used in a variety of contexts to signal caution rather than being specific to power lines. Reflective tape can enhance visibility in low-light situations but does not hang from power lines like Tiger Tails do. Signal lights may be used in some scenarios to indicate the presence of obstacles but are not as prevalent for power line visibility as Tiger Tails. Thus, Tiger Tails are the most effective solution for ensuring that power lines are clearly visible to prevent accidents.
