Avlite AV450-RF Radio-Controlled Solar Airfield Light

Avlite Systems’ AV450-RF is a robust, completely self-contained remote-controlled LED light designed for a range of aviation applications including runway, threshold, approach, helipad and tactical airfield lighting. When set up as a complete airfield this fully functioning lighting system can be controlled from the tower with no costly cabling or trenching required.
In addition, the AV450-RF system has no other infrastructure, special equipment or expertise requirements for installation. Lower capital and minimal maintenance costs are also amongst the major benefits of Avlite’s AV450-RF lighting system.

The AV450-RF has non-precision IFR and VFR capability with both visible and near infrared lighting outputs. The airfield lights can be controlled anywhere in the airfield by handheld radio controller, in the air traffic control tower or from the aircraft via VHF receiver with virtually unlimited range using an encrypted repeating mesh network. The AV450 has three selectable modes; always on, dusk-till-dawn and standby. When set to dusk-till-dawn mode, integrated sensors in the light are able to detect when the ambient light threshold drops sufficiently and the light will begin operation automatically.
There is significant value in rapid installation for non precision IFR operations in areas of no infrastructure. When in High Intensity Mode the lights can run for up to 20 hours before recharging of the battery is needed. If requirements exceed 20 hours of operation at IFR capable high intensity output, high voltage power cables can be attached to the AV450-RF allowing for continuous operations at any intensity. A high voltage direct connection to the AV450-RF allows for redundant power, quick battery recharge during operation and the added level of safety of not having a single point of failure in the entire system.
Lights can be set to Low (10%), Medium (30%), High (100%) and/or 12% increments, and can also be programmed with up to eight intensity settings.
Lights are able to be assigned to a ‘light group’, and groups can be controlled independently using the wireless handheld controller. Flare paths can be easily set up using an internal switch in the light head.
