DoubleWise/AIRPORT LIGHTING SYSTEM

Airport lights are deployed in terms of ICAO Annex 14 Volume I which defines their types, colors, intensity and controlling. These special airfield lights with frangibility can help pilots to identify and locate the airport runway during low visibility, night time and dusk time.

Airport lighting generally includes the Airport beacon, Approach lighting system, Runway lights, illuminated Signs & Windsock, Runway Guard light and taxiway lights etc.. The airfield lighting system aids pilots with visually based vertical alignment on approach landing in poor weather or night condition.

Solar airport lighting is the better choice when these small, remote, off-grid airfield such as airstrips, general aviation aerodromes , temporary military airports etc. is not easily connected the electrical cable or without electricity. There are many benefits of Solar Airport Lighting System because of no cabling: eco-friendly, economical, easy-maintenance, no high voltage, no isolation transformer,no grounding and so on.

Doublewise had provided Solar Airfield Lighting Systems to many general aviation airports in the world during the last decade, such as FREIJO Airport in Brazil at 2019 shown as above figure and Chinese MINQUAN airport in the following figure.

AERODROME BEACON

The airport beacon is installed on the top of the control tower to help pilots identify the airport’s location at night. It flashes at 20~30 times per minute from dusk till dawn.

RUNWAY LIGHTING

Runway threshold lights and end lights

Threshold lights & end lights shall be placed in a row at right angles to the runway axis as near to the extremity of the runway as possible. The threshold light is fixed unidirectional light showing Green in the direction of approach,and the end light is red in the direction of the runway.

DOUBLEWISE combines the bidirectional red/green lights into one light – Solar Runway threshold/end light that indicates runway threshold with green colour from one side and runway end with red colour from another side.

Runway Edge Lights

Runway lights are one of the most important airport lights to keep the landing strip visible in low visibility like nighttime or foggy weather. Runway Edge Lights are lit up to show the edges of the runway for a safe landing in night.

DOUBLEWISE offers solar runway edge lights for non-precision runways in LANSHAN airport in China shown as above photo.

APPROACH LIGHTING SYSTEM

Approach lights are installed on the approach end of an airport runway in order to help pilots identify the location of the runway in night. An approach lighting system (ALS) is consisted of a series of lightbars, strobe lights, or a combination of the two that extends outward from the runway threshold.

For non-instruments or non-precision runways, DOUBLEWISE can provide solar approach lighting system(SALS).

TAXIWAY LIGHTING

Taxiway Edge Lights

Taxiway Edge Lights are to help ensure that both pilots and vehicle drivers follow the correct taxiway routings at night or low visibility. These taxiway lights are fixed blue lights installed at the edges of a runway turn pad,holding bay,apron etc..

Runway Guard Lights

Runway guard lights shall be provided at using taxiway/runway intersections in order to warn pilots or vehicle drivers that they are about to enter an active runway. Runway guard lights are consisted of a pair of elevated flashing yellow lights located on each side of the taxiway.

The solar runway guard lights are manufactured with the latest generation high intensity LEDs and solar technology to provide an alternately yellow flashing light.
