Night vision goggles (NVG) with LED heliport lights
and obstruction markers.
LED’s emit a single wavelength of colored light
that is outside the range of NVG.
They also do not produce a significant
thermal signature and are, therefore, invisible to
NVG. POL double
obstruction lights may be ordered with a red visible head and an infrared
(IR) head making the light visible with or without NVG. PEL & PRL heliport
lights are
available with an NVG compatible option which adds IR LED’s to
the visible array.
Military versions are available for NVG only tactical
applications.
obstruction lights can be switched between modes.
IR only,
invisible without NVG.
Aviator Night Vision Imaging Systems
(ANVIS) use so-called "Generation 3" technology
Military standard sensing
infrared (IR) light in the 600 to 900 nanometer (nm) wavelength range.
For
Military and commercial pilots.
IQAirport Lighting IR LEDs emit at 850 nm
(is outside the unaided human visual range).
Aviation Research Report
B2004/0152 Night Vision Goggles in Civil Helicopter Operations
by the
Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
The LED lights shown at our HELIPORT
LIGHTING link are visible under normal VFR operations.
With the addition of
option -NC NVG Compatibility, infrared (IR) LED's are incorporated in
the
array to allow the lights to be also seen using NVG.
Select array type -xP
or type -xH for use with option -NC NVG Compatibility.
Both types of LED's
operate at the same time and no special switching is required
The system uses an FAA type L-810 single or double red LED obstruction light. Power to the light is supplied by a IQUPS VDC solar power system consisting of a solar module, sealed maintenance-free batteries, and a temperature-compensated Microprocessor charge controller with day/night detection.
The entire system is designed for quick installation and can be mounted to a 2 SCH40 pole (2.375 O.D.). An LED light is used for low power consumption. Day/night detection of the obstruction light is controlled by the Microprocessor solar charge regulator which uses the solar array to sense day/night conditions. The solar regulator also prevents the battery from being overcharged or deep discharged. An integral temperature sensor automatically adjusts the battery charge voltage to compensate for temperature fluctuations for extended battery life.
The 103400 (Solar-powered L-810 Aviation Obstruction
Light) packaged system is the optimal choice for FAA obstruction lighting
applications where reliability is a must.
Complete packaged solar power
