The RELIANCE Protected Taxiway Edge Light (L-852T(L)) is an 8-inch omnidirectional low-protrusion inset LED fixture specifically designed for safe and efficient taxiway edge illumination in both civil and military airfields. Engineered to meet a wide range of international and military standards, this fixture complies with FAA L-852T(L), ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1, IEC 61827, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, Canada TP 312, Australia MOS 139, US Navy NAVAIR 5150AAA-2 (WP 006-04), and UFC 3-535-01 requirements. It is available with either blue or yellow LED outputs, with an optional integrated infrared (IR) function to support night vision goggle (NVG) operations.
Built for performance and durability, the RELIANCE L-852T(L) light fixture can be deployed in applications including taxiway edge lighting, military NAVAIR and UFC edge lighting, and intermediate holding position marking (MOS). The fixture offers exceptional energy efficiency and operational flexibility through multiple configurations: RELIANCE IQ with integrated intelligence, RELIANCE with fail-open technology for added safety, and RELIANCE Non-MON variants for non-monitored installations. It supports operation with both 3- and 5-step ferroresonant or thyristor constant current regulators (CCRs), adhering to IEC and FAA power requirements. Its modular construction and minimal mechanical components facilitate quick and easy maintenance, making it a low-maintenance solution suitable for demanding environments.
Sustainability is a core advantage of the RELIANCE L-852T(L). Utilizing high-efficiency LED technology, the fixture delivers long service life and reduced power consumption. Rated IP68, the entire assembly is sealed against dust and water ingress, with all fasteners made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Its rugged top cover is engineered to withstand external impact forces and environmental exposure, ensuring consistent performance over time. Compatibility with existing ADB SAFEGATE 8-inch base systems also ensures seamless integration into current infrastructure.
Safety features are robust and include a protected light engine designed to endure towbar impacts and heavy loads from aircraft and ground vehicles. The system is capable of detecting shorted LEDs in accordance with FAA Engineering Brief No. 67D. The infrared (IR) option further enhances situational awareness and pilot visibility in NVG environments.
The RELIANCE L-852T(L) light is powered by an integrated, encapsulated 6.6A electronic converter and connects via a two-pole L-823 FAA Style 6 (2-pin) plug for transformer integration. With a typical power factor greater than 0.95 at 6.6A and total power consumption of only 12 watts, it provides highly efficient operation. For markets such as France, the fixture is also available with a flat 3-pin plug; ordering codes should be checked to ensure the correct configuration. Additional accessory options and installation guidelines are available in the RELIANCE Inset User Manual for 8-inch fixtures.
