Applications

Semi-flush stainless steel perimeter light helps mark helipad touchdown and lift-off area (TLOF) and/or final approach and takeoff area (FATO) for metal helidecks and pavement heliports.

Why Our HL-490L is Better

• Stainless steel construction better resists salt, chemicals, and weather exposure.
• Nitric acid passivated to maximize the essential corrosion resistance.
• Small 6″ [15.24 cm] fixture easily drops into metal helideck, fastens with 4 bolts.
• Recessed, semi-flush mounted, allows for obstruction-free movement of equipment and personnel.
• Fixture sealed to bottom cover to prevent moisture intrusion.
• Prism removal and replacement achieved without need for adhesives or sealants.
• Pre-focused optics simplify maintenance.
• Cost-saving, energy-efficient LEDs.
• Power adapter included.
• Low maintenance – LED light source has 50,000 hour lifetime (50X longer than halogen).
• Monochromatic output of LEDs is more conspicuous than halogen.
• Available in 10-30VDC, 120-240VAC or 277VAC versions.
• With our Dimming Controller option, the lights can be dimmed at night to reduce glare – select from three brightness levels.
• Available for non-heliport applications such as architectural lighting.
