By:Roxie Crosby | May 16, 2023

Avlite is proud to announce that our FAA Certified AV-70-863 product line received a Buy American Act waiver. This waiver includes the AV-70-863 in the use of Federal Airport Improvement Program funds ( AIP ) for airport construction projects whether large or small. The ease of installation allows contractors and airport operations teams to safely and efficiently mark taxiways, ramps, and other active use areas during construction.

Manufacturing the AV-70-863 in our U.S. facilities aligns with the SPX Aids to Navigation (AtoN) goal of bringing key production lines closer to our customers. Improvements in lead times and the expanded use of AIP funds mark a critical step forward for the advancement and adoption of solar airfield lighting in the National Airspace System.

The AV-70-863 is certified with Intertek® Labs for FAA 863B lighting applications. Also available in FAA compliant L-861T for permanent applications, the AV-70 is the most versatile, field-proven solar airfield lighting fixture on the market with 15 years of use throughout the harshest and most demanding environments around the world.
