LED Elevated Approach Side Row Light

Approach side row lights are used in the side rows of a precision approach lighting system, normally set on both sides of the approach centerline to establish a clear lateral position reference for the aircraft. They work with the approach centerline and crossbar lights to help pilots judge where the aircraft is relative to the runway centerline, and they strengthen recognition of the approach lighting pattern in low visibility. The fixture uses an LED light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

Application/Use

Features

• The serialized design of lighting fixtures combined with modular design of components effectively reduce the inventory of spare parts.
• Compact structure, with small windward area and strong wind resistance capability.
• Compatible with a levelling tool for installation and directional calibration.
• Low energy LED light source, with a comprehensive lifespan of not less than 100,000 hours and light attenuation is less than 30%.
• The dimming curve complies with the requirements of FAA EB67, and the dimming characteristics of the luminaire are similar to those of traditional halogen light source luminaires.
• The integrated surge protection device features high surge withstand capability, compliant with FAA EB67. It has successfully undergone 1.2/50μs - 8/20μs combination wave testing per ANSI/IEEE C62.41, withstanding 10kV peak open-circuit voltage and 5kA peak short-circuit current surges.
• The overall degrees of protection is IP67.
• Optional fault detection function, which can achieve light fault open circuit in case of light source or drive failure.
