The PRO APF TP312 HIRL is a high-intensity LED runway edge light designed to serve multiple critical airfield lighting functions, including high-intensity runway edge lighting, threshold/end lighting, and displaced threshold lighting. This fixture is engineered to deliver long-lasting, maintenance-free performance while providing high lumen output suitable for airfields around the world. Its robust construction and advanced LED technology ensure reliable and efficient operation under demanding conditions.
Certified for global use, the PRO APF HIRL is available in various models that comply with FAA, ICAO, and Canadian TP312 standards, making it adaptable for a wide range of international airport requirements. The unit meets stringent certifications, including Canada TP312 sections 5.3.10.11 and 5.3.10.13, underscoring its adherence to safety and operational standards.
The design incorporates WaveTrac™ technology, which significantly reduces power consumption by up to 60% compared to traditional incandescent lighting, contributing to lower energy costs and improved sustainability. The fixture provides a full 360-degree viewing angle through an omnidirectional halo, ensuring excellent visibility from all directions.
Installation and maintenance are simplified by an innovative design that includes a removable flange ring securing the glass dome to the housing, allowing quick and easy access to the power supply and LED optical assembly. The fixture employs a three-screw leveling system with hex head bolts, enabling precise alignment during installation.
Available in three installed heights—14 inches (350 mm), 24 inches (607 mm), and 30 inches (759 mm)—the PRO APF TP312 HIRL offers flexibility to accommodate various airfield layout requirements. It is compatible with both 1.5-inch and 2-inch baseplate hubs, facilitating seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
The light source utilizes long-life LED technology, rated for L70 performance at over 50,000 hours of operation at 6.6 amps, ensuring extended service life and reduced maintenance frequency. The housing is constructed from highly durable cast aluminum, providing corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for long-term durability.
To enhance visual comfort and operational safety, the fixture incorporates high-frequency 400 Hz pulse-width modulation (PWM) to eliminate flicker perception. Additional protection includes built-in surge protection rated at 10kV/5kA, guarding the electronics against electrical disturbances.
For greater operational flexibility, the PRO APF TP312 HIRL offers options for an external power cord and grounding to ensure full TP312 compatibility. An energy-efficient arctic kit is also available, featuring a filament applied directly to the glass dome to minimize energy losses in cold climates.
The fixture’s frangible coupling is designed with an integral fluid barrier that prevents ambient precipitation from entering the base, protecting internal components from moisture damage. Both the LED and electronic assemblies are housed within an IP67-rated enclosure, providing excellent protection against dust and water ingress to ensure reliable performance in the most challenging environmental conditions.
Together, these features make the PRO APF TP312 HIRL an advanced, efficient, and durable solution for high-intensity runway edge and threshold lighting applications worldwide.
