Solar Airport Lights: A New Standard for Airport Infrastructure. According to ICAO statistics, the use of solar navigation aids can reduce operation and maintenance costs by 40% and reduce carbon emissions by 60%.
Solar Airport Lights: Purchase Notes
1. Military-grade protection performance
Runway-grade lighting equipment must withstand extreme environmental tests. It is recommended to use warning lights with aviation aluminum alloy one-piece molding process, such as the YFFY-300 3km strong light solar warning light, which has an IP68 protection level that can resist salt spray corrosion and extreme temperature differences from -40℃ to 80℃, and has an impact resistance of IK10.
2. Light efficiency & energy efficiency dual-optimization system
- Light intensity standard: runway boundary lights must reach ≥2000cd light intensity (or different solar warning lights have different standards)
- Intelligent optical system: It is recommended to choose a model equipped with Fresnel lens, such as the 120° wide-angle light distribution system of YFFY-300
- Energy storage solution: automatic charging during the day and automatic operation at night to ensure stable operation for 5 consecutive rainy days
3. Modular intelligent operation & maintenance design
The new generation of solar lights should have:
- Quick-disassembly structure (replacement of components <5 minutes)
- Remote monitoring interface (support 4G/RS485 communication)
- Self-diagnosis system (real-time reporting of fault codes)
The above functions require specific products and can be met by customization.
4. Dynamic adaptability
Preferably support the following upgraded solutions:
√ Stepless power adjustment (10-100% brightness adjustable)
√ Compatible with ILS/PAPI system linkage
√ Expandable radar trigger function
5. Full life cycle cost model
- Initial investment
- Annual power saving (kW·h)
- Expected maintenance frequency
- Residual value rate (high-quality products still maintain 70% efficiency after 3-5 years)
6. Scenario-based solutions
For different application scenarios, you can refer to the airport-specific configuration solution provided by YFFY LIGHTS. Its 3km strong light model is particularly suitable for the marking requirements of Category II runways under complex meteorological conditions.
The practice of leading airports shows that the use of navigation aids such as smart solar airport lights can reduce runway intrusion accidents by 35%. When selecting suppliers, its recommended to give priority to manufacturers with experience in airport project implementation and require a performance warranty commitment of at least 1-3 years.
