Handheld Airfield Lighting Controller (HHC)

Handheld Controller (HHC)

Take command of your solar airfield lighting system with confidence. Our handheld controller offers secure, encrypted communication for remote operation. Change modes effortlessly for enhanced visibility in adverse weather conditions or swiftly transition to blackout or infrared (NVG) modes in response to immediate threats. Our controller supports multiple configuration options, enabling password-protected communication with one or more controllers keyed to a system of lights.

The HHC also supports an interface for easy integration with off-the-shelf aviation band VHF receivers (ARCAL), facilitating pilot-controlled lighting operation.

Our controller is rigorously tested to meet MIL-STD-202F standards for moisture resistance (Condition B, Method 104A). It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 to 140 °F (-40 to 60 °C). The weatherproof backlit LED keypad ensures functionality in all environments.

What Our Clients Say

The simplicity of the self-contained light and the option to use a PALC leaves no doubt why they chose Avlite helipad lighting.

-Jorge de Dios

It is a great benefit to our community to have this [Avlite’s helipad lighting system] installed and commissioned at CareFlight’s Toowoomba base. Avlite’s particular type of lighting lends itself to a lot of applications given that it’s easy to install, doesn’t require electricity as its solar powered and can be remotely controlled. It’s a fabulous technology, obviously a world leading technology and from my point of view, it’s great to see an Australian Manufacturing success story.

-Cr Mike Williams

For an aerodrome operator to provide equivalent night-use runway standards for the RFDS and other fixed-base users at around one-third of the cost of a traditional mains-powered runway and taxiway lighting system, there has to be greater recognised merit for this (solar-powered) alternative especially in a location like ours where it is sunny most days of the year.

-Jenny Kox

Our industry appreciates the on-going support of this Australian owned and operated company whose solar powered airfield and helipad lighting systems assist in the improvement of safety for both fixed and rotary wing aeromedical flight crews and passengers around the country.

-Graeme Field

As the busiest Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) based in the State [of Queensland], the benefits [of Avlite’s helipad lighting] are many. Not only does it [the system] enhance the safety of our operations, it also helps us to continue to improve our level of service delivery to the community and to our customers.

-Ashley van de Velde

These lights [AV-70s] have been a great asset to many outback communities that previously we were not able to access 24/7.

-Alan Benn

Just to let you know the new airport floodlight has now been installed for several weeks and the medical staff and Power and Water staff [who look after the airport] agree it has made things much easier and safer for night-time medivacs. Your assistance with enabling us to have this basic but important infrastructure is much appreciated.

-Stephanie Fielder

Since starting our distributorship with Avlite, we have gone from strength to strength with the great range of solar products and of course the fantastic support of the Avlite staff. It’s been a good year for us. May it continue.

-Eddie Lacina

Re: Avlite AV70 taxiway lights, are working really well. Thank you for your assistance in getting our ramp up and running.

-Capt. US Air Force

[In reference to more than 2,000 AV70 taxiway lights installed] Those Taxiway lights work great, we are not having any problems with those AV70’s. Thanks a lot.

-USAF

The lights are installed and are operating beautifully.

-Strathcona Airport

[In reference to Avlite radio controlled obstruction lighting] They are really neat to watch come on, they come on instantly and are a great addition to our pilot training school. The lights are currently set on medium intensity as high intensity is very bright.

-Airport Staff

We did install all of the lights. We even used a few red lights as obstruction markers on top of 68 meter power line towers. I finally found a high quality camera and took some photos. I will send them to you as soon as I can download them. We submitted some additional light orders to our contracting office, so you can expect to receive a bit solicitation from them soon. The lights are working great and we appreciate the support.

-US ARMY

[In reference to a visit to the Avlite production facilities] On arrival at Avlite I was greeted by the Sales Manager, and was treated like a VIP. I was given a tour of the production line and had a close look, and an in-depth explanation of all the components of the Avlite system. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. It was truly fascinating and I now have a good story to tell Wanarn community members on my return. I was also shown the vast range of solar system lights and other products that they make.
I have recommended Avlite solar lighting systems to many local communities and Avlite will be my first stop shop if the community needs anything regarding solar power in the future. Well done, and thank you Avlite.
