You are almost correct: The actual section is 6.3.23 "Low-intensity
obstacle lights on fixed objects, Types A and B, shall be fixed-red
lights." What I was referring to in my previous post was obstructions
capable of being moved (like a boat). The Type A refers to low intensity
lighting.
The section you're referring to is 6.3.25 and is applicable to moving
vehicles on the airport property.
Additionally, section 6.3.2 states: "Low-intensity obstacle lights, Type
A or B, should be used where the object is a less extensive one and its
height above the surrounding ground is less than 45 m." That's about
150' max, thereafter additional lighting becomes required.
Fair winds,
Mike

Actually, it does, according to the ICAO (most national aviation law
legalises their
recommendations).
The same recommendations require that movable obstructions (on an
aerodrome) display flashing blue or yellow lights not red.
