The RELIANCE 2 8-inch Inset LED Stop Bar Light is an advanced, low-protrusion unidirectional or bidirectional lighting fixture specifically designed for stop bar applications in airfield environments. Emitting high-intensity red light, this ICAO-compliant fixture is purpose-built for precision ground lighting in airports worldwide. Designed to seamlessly integrate into shallow base cans, the RELIANCE 2 combines robust performance, durability, and compatibility with modern and legacy systems. It can be optionally equipped with the RELIANCE IQ module, which includes an integrated ILCMS remote for enhanced intelligence and control.
Fully certified under a broad range of international aviation and military standards—including ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1, IEC 61827, NATO STANAG 3316, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, STAC PRO/STAC/SE/VIS, Canada TP 312, Australia MOS 139, and China CAAC—the RELIANCE 2 offers global applicability and regulatory assurance. Its modular design is available in three variants: RELIANCE IQ with integrated intelligence; RELIANCE with integrated fail-open monitoring technology (MON); and a basic version without monitoring features. In MON versions, fuse resistors—critical to the fail-open function—are sold separately as spares.
Engineered for maximum efficiency, the fixture features precision-aimed optics that optimize light output while extending LED life. LEDs are pulse width modulated at 400 Hz, eliminating visible flicker and improving consistency across all brightness levels. It functions reliably across various constant current regulator systems and fully supports dimming profiles that align with traditional halogen lighting. A reduced bottom pan profile allows for shallow base installation, while the At-a-Glance top cover identification simplifies maintenance by visually distinguishing stop bar fixtures from other airfield lighting types.
The RELIANCE 2 demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability through its use of next-generation LEDs that provide high efficiency with minimal energy consumption. Its all-in-one encapsulated universal power supply is compatible with Runway, Taxiway, Approach, and Omni light families, ensuring seamless integration. Constructed with a durable IP68-rated enclosure and stainless steel fastenings, the fixture is well-suited for harsh environmental conditions. It can be directly retrofitted into existing LED infrastructure, minimizing installation complexity.
Safety is central to the RELIANCE 2’s design. The fixture includes advanced mechanical improvements that simplify maintenance and improve structural integrity. Optional fail-open technology allows compatibility with legacy monitoring systems and supports integration with next-generation airfield control platforms. It also features failed-LED detection in compliance with FAA Engineering Brief 67D requirements. For protection against electrical disturbances, the RELIANCE 2 includes robust lightning protection conforming to ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 standards, meeting Category C2 specifications that include a 10,000 V peak voltage and 5,000 A peak current surge resistance.
Overall, the RELIANCE 2 8" Stop Bar LED Inset Light delivers industry-leading performance, efficiency, and safety for modern airfield stop bar lighting, making it an ideal solution for airports seeking reliable, ICAO-compliant ground lighting systems.
