Lot's of broadcast towers are lit with LEDs, that's old news. A little
pricey to install, but well worth it for the long term bottom end. OTOH,
OTA broadcast companies are wondering what the long term future holds
for them.
LEDs have been a little problematic on AM towers.

I think the problem is to introduce a "new", long-life, light bulb.
Any, modern LED bulb would do lifetime wise. I believe, though,
there are several light bulbs in the assembly that automatically
replace the bulbs as they burn out. That is used in lighthouses to
insure there is a light on all the time. To design an assembly that
could automatically replace burnt-out LED bulbs might not be that
simple. You know, everything there has to be approved by
authorities.
