The RELIANCE 12-inch Approach Siderow Inset LED Light is a high-performance, low-protrusion unidirectional fixture engineered for precision and reliability in airfield lighting. Designed specifically for approach siderow applications, this fixture emits red LED light and is fully compliant with the latest global aviation standards, including ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, IEC 61827, NATO STANAG 3316, Canada TP 312, Australia MOS 139, and the French STAC PRO/STAC/SE/ENIS/600S guidelines. This makes it an ideal lighting solution for civil and military airfields worldwide that demand consistency, safety, and international standard conformity.
This RELIANCE fixture supports ICAO-standard lighting configurations for approach centerline, approach crossbar, and approach siderow layouts. It is available in three versions to suit various operational and monitoring needs: RELIANCE IQ with integrated intelligence and compatibility with ADB SAFEGATE’s ILCMS (Intelligent Lighting Control and Monitoring System), RELIANCE with integrated fail-open (monitored) technology, and a Non-MON version for environments where active monitoring is not required. The fail-open design includes fuse resistors as part of the monitoring system, with replacements available when needed.
Equipped with high-efficiency LED technology, the RELIANCE approach siderow light delivers a long-lasting, energy-efficient lighting solution with exceptionally low power consumption. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used to optimize LED performance without visible flicker, ensuring smooth operation and consistent brightness across varying load conditions. The fixture is designed to operate on both 3- or 5-step ferroresonant or thyristor Constant Current Regulators (CCRs) in accordance with FAA and IEC standards, providing flexible integration into existing airport infrastructure.
In terms of sustainability, the RELIANCE 12-inch inset light features fully encapsulated electronics and an IP68-rated aluminum housing with all stainless steel fastenings, ensuring durability in harsh environmental conditions. It offers modular construction for easy maintenance, while its compatibility with existing airfield lighting systems reduces installation costs and complexity. A reinforced prism option is also available to enhance durability in high-impact or high-traffic zones.
Safety is a top priority in the design of this fixture. It includes built-in voltage surge and lightning protection to safeguard internal electronics during extreme weather events. The light engine is fully dimmable and follows the response curve of traditional halogen systems, allowing seamless integration into airfields transitioning to LED technology. Additionally, its low-profile design reduces the risk of damage from aircraft and maintenance vehicles, while the fixture’s optics are engineered to avoid any negative slope in front of the prisms, further enhancing visibility and safety.
The integrated power supply consists of an encapsulated 6.6A electronic converter and is equipped with a two-pole L-823 plug for straightforward transformer connection. With a typical power factor of greater than 0.95 at 6.6A, this system ensures efficient energy use while delivering the high output needed for critical approach lighting.
Overall, the RELIANCE 12-inch Approach Siderow Inset LED Light combines robust construction, advanced optical performance, intelligent monitoring capabilities, and global regulatory compliance—making it a dependable and sustainable choice for airfield approach lighting systems.
