Smooth, safe running

Our in-house Lighting Design Team was involved in the development of our proprietary refraction lens. So, they have a unique knowledge of how to create designs for the most challenging airport environments. This means we can offer a full lighting package to our aviation lighting clients. A package that includes a fully compliant design to ICAO or EASA/FAA standards with a report of the luminaire numbers, complete installation and mounting instructions, plus handling and maintenance guidance. As-built drawings can also be provided if needed. In our designs, photometric calculations are carried out based on the criteria listed in your bid specification and the ‘Outdoor Lighting for Airport Environments IES RP-37-15’. As specified in IES RP-37-15/ICAO ANNEX 14 regulations, our calculations are on each aircraft stand, and over the whole apron area as well.

In fact, we’ve cut energy costs by up to 70% for some clients when switching their old metal halide floodlights for LED ones. Savings like that can be used to help you reach other goals – from commercial to environmental to improving your bottom line.
Maintaining traditional airfield floodlighting systems isn’t cheap either. Firstly you have the cost of the new bulbs and equipment you need to fit them. These costs can be the least of your worries, however. Consider also the expensive operational impact downtime can have on your airport running costs, productivity, and reputation too. With LED airfield and airport lighting, you can forget these worries. We’ve proven it time and time again.

Old, highly light-concentrating optics, with symmetrical light emissions, produce a high level of glare – from all angles. This can present safety issues for pilots and ground staff. Our proprietary refraction optics create very asymmetric light emissions instead. This means glare is kept extremely low. They also increase uniformity on the ground to maximise safety across all areas.

The airport and airline industries are key targets for environmental campaigners. LED lighting not only vastly reduces your energy use, compared to traditional airport lighting it’s been proven to be kinder to the environment as well.
