Solar High Intensity Runway Edge Light
The solar airport light DWS801H is specially designed as a high intensity runway edge light (HIRL) for Precision Instrument Runways (CAT I, II, III). The HIRL runway light complies with ICAO Annex 14 Volume I and meets traditional airport requirements in a low-cost, easy-to-install and low-maintenance way. Being solar self-contained and durable with bidirectional optics, it is well suited to Aeronautical Ground Lighting systems with no electricity or cabling.
The HIRL runway light has been photometrically tested by Intertek, and is ISO 9001 and CE certified.
