Honeywell Airfield Lighting Components
Elevated Lights
General features
Requirements
All lights deliver intensities and isocandelas in accordance with the applicable ICAO and FAA regulations, they are photometrically tested
on our inhouse certified and calibrated light measurement test bench.
(ICAO=International Civil Aviation Organization, FAA=Federal Aviation Administration of USA)
Isocandela curve (sample)
Construction
All lights are designed for ease of maintenance and have a robust and long
lifetime structure. The modular construction and small number of parts
allows costsaving logistics.
Optics
Depending on the application appropriate diffusers, refractors, lenses, filters, lamp combinations are used. High quality optical components are used
for all lights.
