The RELIANCE 2 12-inch LED inset runway edge light is a highly efficient and durable solution specifically engineered for 60-meter wide runway edge applications. Designed with a low-protrusion profile and available in both unidirectional and bidirectional configurations, this Style 3 fixture (≤ 6.35 mm) delivers high-intensity illumination for precision airfield lighting. As part of the RELIANCE 2 family, this fixture can be integrated with the advanced IQ built-in ILCMS remote monitoring and control system, enabling smart connectivity for airfield lighting operations.
This LED inset light is fully compliant with a broad range of global aviation and military standards, including ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1, NATO STANAG 3316, IEC 61827, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, UK CAP 168, STAC PRO/STAC/SE/ENIS/600S, UFC 3-535-01, Canada TP 312, Australia MOS 139, and China CAAC, ensuring global interoperability for civil and military airports. It is purpose-built for ICAO-compliant 60-meter wide runway edge applications, offering robust performance across a variety of demanding environments.
To meet diverse operational needs, the RELIANCE 2 is available in three configurations: the RELIANCE IQ version with integrated intelligence and remote ILCMS capabilities; a version with integrated fail-open (Mon) technology supporting legacy monitoring systems (with spare fuse resistors required for Mon functionality); and a Non-MON option for non-monitored installations. Each version features precision-aimed optics that enhance photometric output, extend LED lifespan, and reduce energy consumption. The pulse width modulation (PWM) at 400 Hz eliminates perceptible flicker and optimizes visual performance at all brightness steps, compliant with constant current regulator technologies based on IEC or FAA standards.
The fixture is engineered for long-term sustainability with fully encapsulated, all-in-one universal power supplies compatible with Runway, Taxiway, Approach, and Omni inset lighting systems. Its latest-generation LEDs ensure maximum energy efficiency and extended service life, while a reinforced top cover substantially surpasses durability standards to withstand environmental and mechanical stress. The IP68-rated housing, constructed with stainless steel fastenings, is designed for corrosion resistance and sealed protection against harsh conditions. Moreover, the fixture is fully compatible with existing infrastructure, allowing seamless replacement of older LED inset units.
Safety is a core design element of the RELIANCE 2. It incorporates a strengthened mechanical structure that simplifies maintenance and improves overall system reliability. The fail-open feature ensures compatibility with traditional monitoring systems and advanced lighting control networks, while failed-LED detection complies with FAA Engineering Brief 67D. To safeguard electrical integrity, the unit features robust lightning protection conforming to ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 Location Category C2, withstanding surge events up to 10,000 volts and 5,000 amps.
Power supply options include a basic non-monitored version (power only), a monitored version with integrated fail-open capability, and the RELIANCE IQ model with an embedded ILCMS remote interface for intelligent lighting control. Together, these options deliver a flexible, future-ready lighting solution for high-performance runway edge lighting at international airports.
