Taxiway light A704-VL

for helidecksLEDIR

Overview
Solar helipad and taxiway lights A704-VL provide a self-contained lighting solution for ground, rooftop, offshore, temporary or remote heliports and taxiway applications. Designed for easy installation and low maintenance, the units integrate solar panels, battery, EMS and LED optics in a compact IP67 enclosure.

Key Benefits

• EASY INSTALLATION: Minimal crew and no trenching. Install A704-VL and it operates dusk-to-dawn while maintaining battery health.
• LOW MAINTENANCE: Integrated components in a standalone unit with serviceable, replaceable battery for extended field life.
• RELIABLE: Microprocessor Energy Management System (EMS) ensures consistent output in harsh environments; tested to ICAO, FAA and MIL standards.
• PROVEN: Deployed at airports and military sites worldwide for year-round operation.

Features

• Optical: High‑power LEDs with IES LM‑80 lumen maintenance; ICAO/FAA chromaticity compliance; NVG‑capable IR LEDs; selectable steady‑on, flash and IR‑only modes.
