Runway Edge
High Intensity
Bidirectional Elevated Light
Type BPE
Compliance with Standards
FAA: AC 150/5345-46A
ICAO: Para. 5.3, for use as runway edge light
in Category I, II and III conditions
NATO: STANAG 3316
Fig. 2
Uses
– High intensity edge lighting for runways up to 60 m width in cat. I, II and III.
– Medium intensity runway edge and threshold/runway end lighting. The light
features also an omnidirectional component for circling guidance.
Features
• Of low-profile and small in size: To withstand heaviest jet blast, even when
installed at threshold/runway end.
• Low-maintenance design: Minimum number of parts, every part simple and
functional, spare parts holding limited to a minimum.
• Fast re-lamping: Inner lenses and outer dome remain clamped to upper body.
Only two wingscrews to remove.
• Repeatable and stable photometrics: Uses a PKX30d quartz halogen lamp,
precision-prefocused and accurately positioned in the lower body. Smooth
outer glass dome surface will not retain dirt. Interval between cleanings can be
extended without affecting light output significantly.
• Long lamp life:
–1000 hours at full intensity (6.6A)
–2000 to 4000 hours in practice, since the lighting system often operates at lower intensity settings.
• Energy saver: High-efficiency optics need only 100 W or 150 W lamps where
other lights require 200 W. Reduced heat dissipation entails longer life of
gaskets, glassware and internal wiring.
• Versatile optical system: 2-piece inner glass lens allows for any combination of
colours. 180 degree blanking screen available.
• Easy to install: Design avoids twisting of electric wires. Non-seizing,
polyurethane ball-joint for easy levelling and azimuth alignment. Dedicated
aiming device available.
• Circling guidance: Intensity of omnidirectional light component exceeds the
ICAO requirement, making night VFR operations safer.
• Adaptable to special environmental conditions:
Provision for installation of a location marking rod or flag for heavy snow fall
areas.
