Taxiway Heliport LED Light 5W Blue 360 Degrees

Taxiway Heliport LED Light 5W Blue 360 Degrees

This Taxiway heliport LED light marks the ground taxi routes between the landing area and the hangar or parking stand. It suits helidecks with ground traffic, where the helicopter rolls on wheels or is towed. Blue light above 2 cd, spread through 360 degrees, shows the edges of the route without competing with the green TLOF perimeter.

Benefits

• Seen from every direction: a 360 degrees horizontal spread, produced by lenses designed for this body.
• Unmistakable colour: blue within the CIE Chromaticity Boundary, the standard colour for taxi routes.
• Very low draw: 2.5 W per LED, 5 W in total, which keeps long routes affordable to run.
• Control from the panel: intensity at 10%, 30% and 100% from the heliport control panel.
• Breaks away on impact: it mounts on any flat surface through a frangible socket.
• Untroubled service: IP66 against dust and water jets, IK10, UV-protected diffuser, and operation from -40 degrees C to +50 degrees C.

Applications and installation

Install the Taxiway light along the taxi routes of the heliport, on flat surfaces, using the frangible socket in the mounting kit. It belongs to the same family as the TLOF and FATO fittings and takes its supply from the same control panel. Wired directly to 90-230 V, the light works but loses the dimming function. The IP66 body copes with dust-laden air and wash-down water. Designed and manufactured in Europe.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the Taxiway heliport LED light give only 2 cd? Taxi routes are travelled slowly on the ground, so a low intensity avoids dazzling the pilot and the ground crew.

What is a frangible socket? A mounting part that gives way in a controlled manner on impact, so the light cannot damage the landing gear.

Is it visible from behind? Yes. The 360 degrees horizontal spread makes the light visible from any direction of travel.
