If it were me I would install redundant lights so as to not have to
climb the tower when a bulb burns out. Ditto for LED's as they can fail
prematurely, especially in the environment to which they would be exposed.
Painting wouldn't have to be done often if done right to start with but
one day...

I know that the BIG multi-op contest stations and a few others on this
list have ham towers that exceed 200 feet. Is it a big deal to register,
is it costly to register, is it difficult to maintain the marking and
lighting?

Prior to buying this country QTH, I checked to see if the six dirt strips
within the 3-4 miles were 'real' FAA airports.
They were not so I believe notification was not required. However the usual
FAA height restrictions apply.

Here's the website that will give you an idea of how high you'll be able to
go for a 'no notice' condition:

If you have to file and get an FAA determination, you can do it on-line and
there is no charge.
FAA determinations can take as long as 90-days.
