Solar helipad lights and heliport lighting systems are a dependable alternative to a generator or grid-powered lighting for ground, rooftop, offshore, temporary or remote heliports. A704-VL helicopter landing zone lights and solar perimeter lights meet traditional heliport lighting requirements in an easy-to-install, low maintenance package.
Our helipad landing lights are ICAO (Annex 14 Touchdown and Lift-off perimeter lights) and FAA compliant, third-party tested and available in 3 solar engine sizes. Built on a proven technology platform, we can customize helipad landing light systems for the world’s toughest environments.
EASY INSTALLATION
Limited crew, no trenching, no airfield interruptions. Just place the A704-VL solar helipad light, and it emits light dusk-to-dawn while maintaining its battery.
LOW MAINTENANCE
The A704-VL integrates solar panels, battery, electronics and LED light source into a compact, stand-alone unit requiring minimal maintenance for 7 years. The replaceable battery extends service life well beyond 5 years.
RELIABLE
The energy management system (EMS) monitors all operations to provide consistent output in the harshest environments. Testing to ICAO, FAA and MIL specifications ensures high performance for many years.
TRUSTED
With thousands of installations worldwide, Avlite’s solar LED lights operate year-round at over 500 airports and military bases.
