What kind of lights must a balloon have during night operations?

During night operations, a balloon is required to have both steady aviation white position lights and an anti-collision light for safety and regulatory compliance. The steady white position lights serve to indicate the balloon's position, orientation, and direction of travel to other aircraft and ground observers, while the anti-collision light is essential for enhancing visibility in the night sky. This combination ensures that the balloon is easily seen by others, thus helping to prevent potential collisions. The presence of these lights allows pilots and crew members to operate with a greater margin of safety during nighttime flights, in accordance with aviation regulations aimed at reducing risks in low-visibility conditions.
