A Forward Operating Base has placed its third order for Avlite solar-powered LED airfield sign lighting systems. The AV-SIGN-20 is being used to externally light taxiway guidance signs, distance remaining signs and directional airfield signage.

To date, more than 100 units of the Avlite solar LED airfield sign lighting systems have been deployed at multiple FOBs providing significant safety, navigational and maintenance benefits to remote air bases.

As a self-contained frangible airfield sign lighting system with minimal heat signature, pilots are able to navigate the runways, taxiways and apron areas under night vision goggles (NVG) or unaided eye operating conditions. As a testament to the quality and durability of the Avlite solar LED sign lighting solutions, the signs must operate in the summer during constant heat levels above 55 degrees Celsius.

“As the airfield lighting tech, I can say that I am impressed with your products thus far. We are using your solar sign lights to light the airfield signs… they are a very positive addition to our runway. I’m very impressed with their quality and effectiveness.”
