Heliport Perimeter Lights (Elevated)

On a heliport, the lights on the perimeter and outside the perimeter can be elevated.

What type of heliport perimeter lights can be elevated?

• FATO lights
• TLOF lights
• Taxi lights
• Approach lights
• Aiming lights

What is the difference between the perimeter lights and the other heliport lights?

The perimeter lights are usually elevated and can be tall up to 250 mm. All the other lights on the heliport, inside the FATO area, must be lower, with a maximum of 25 mm high.

An elevated light is easier to install because there is no need for a shallow base installed into the platform. The lamps are installed on a base plate with frangible coupling. The electrical connexion is made under the base plate into a small space created to fit the junction box.

Sometimes the connexion can be made directly on the cable coming from the platform.

The lamps are having a round shape and have low exposure to the wind.

The material of the cases is aluminum for better cooling. Another advantage of aluminum is that this material is not corrosive. All case parts are painted in powder coating in yellow color.

All assembling elements are made from stainless steel.

The disperser is made of polycarbonate, a very strong material, resistant to the impact of a minimum of 20 Jouls and also UV protected.

The optical modules are made with high power and efficient OSRAM LEDs. The lenses are specially designed for the best optical performance.

We use gaskets and sealing methods to prevent water increase and condensation.

What color are the perimeter heliport lights?

• the perimeter heliport lights products can be WHITE or GREEN, depending on if the TLOF is combined or not with the FATO area.
• if the FATO area is combined with the heliport TLOF area then the color of the lights is green
• all the other lights except the TLOF perimeter lights are white
