Pearl Runway LED Light for Small Airports

Pearl Runway LED Light for Small Airports

This Pearl runway LED light brings OSRAM LED technology to airfields with a visual approach system. Pearl, short for Packaged Elevated Airfield Runway Lighting, addresses regional airports, remote strips and military runways that need a compact, robust elevated fitting. The body weighs 0.5 kg and clamps to a pipe, with no heavy civil works.

Benefits

• Twin beam pattern: a rectangular main beam of -5/+5 degrees H and 1/5 degrees V, plus an elliptical secondary beam of -15/+15 degrees H and 0/8 degrees V.
• Two supply modes: 220 V AC 50/60 Hz plus or minus 10%, or a constant current of 1.4 A from the DCR regulator.
• Command from the cockpit: optional FAA L-854 type radio control lets the pilot switch the lighting on without ground assistance.
• Full protection: IP66 against water and dust, IK10 against impact, which suits dusty inland strips.
• Universal mounting: it clamps to pipes from 32 to 65 mm in diameter.
• Wide climate window: a rated range of -40 degrees C to +50 degrees C.

Applications and installation

Use the Pearl light to mark runway edges and thresholds on small and medium airports. In a series circuit you feed it from the DCR constant current regulator, which also sets the intensity. Where no series circuit exists, connect it straight to 220 V AC. The 32-65 mm pipe clamp lets you reuse existing posts, and the IP66 body keeps blown sand out. Designed and manufactured in Europe.

Frequently asked questions

What does Packaged Elevated Airfield Runway Lighting mean? It is an elevated airfield lighting system supplied as a complete package, built for airfields with visual approach.

Can I command the Pearl runway LED light from the aircraft? Yes, with the optional FAA L-854 radio control, which lets the pilot operate it without ground assistance.

Do I need the DCR regulator? No. The light also accepts a direct 220 V AC 50/60 Hz supply, with a tolerance of plus or minus 10%.
