New Lighting Technology To Provide Support To Airfields
Friday, May 1st, 2009
Aviation is a booming sector of any economy. It is very important for a country to have its aeronautical and aviation system in place. It is an index in which the development of a country can be measured.
With regards to this fact, many nations have come up with state of the art airports and have inducted the best technology available to them in order to have the best infrastructure when it comes to aviation.
The state of the art and modern technology used in the creation of wonderful airports also involves induction of the best lighting technology and integrating it with the overall functioning of the airfield or the airport itself. Aviation lighting is a topic that must be given due importance. There are varied applications of proper obstruction lighting in an airport. For instance, a proper light based guiding system may be useful in guiding planes on the runway or the taxiway in case of a dysfunctional ATC or improper signaling from the same.
A very significant advancement in this regard is the development of the new ‘AGNIS’ lighting based guiding system, which is basically meant to provide guiding support to the aircraft on the taxiway for docking or for moving on to the main runway for take-off.
The technology is based completely on LED’s as it is the best method for saving on power and the added costs are much less. It has been developed with a 600 W ‘filament’ lamp which makes it very efficient for usage. It has very low power consumption and a highly extended life period making it a class different from its counterparts currently in use. The light-weight design, compact body and efficient lighting power make it one of the best in business.
It also comes in a ’solar powered’ version which can be duly charged up in the day and used in the night, thus helping to save up a lot on power and money. One of the best thing about it is that it needs very little servicing. The equipment can very easily be integrated into a power circuit and being easy to configure poses no problems of handling.
