Kai Tak approach lights,
(from a book published in 1962)
Considering the light feature was placed on a hill, this was probably a hazard beacon emitting a red omnidirectional light denoting the presence of terrain near the flight path of approaching aircraft.
This looks like the one located on top of a small hill near Homantin?
Probably is the one. Although located near Ho Man Tin, it was called the Hung Hom Hazard Beacon!
