The TKH Elevated Threshold Wing Bar Light 797 THRW is a robust and versatile LED lighting solution designed for use in airport runway threshold areas, providing critical visual guidance for pilots during takeoff and landing operations. This elevated fixture offers multiple power configurations to accommodate different operational needs and environmental conditions. The standard model consumes 48 watts of power, while versions equipped with a heating (de-icing) kit draw 79 watts. Models that include circling guidance consume 57 watts, and those with both circling guidance and heating require 88 watts. This range of options ensures that the light can function effectively in cold climates and low-visibility conditions while maintaining optimal performance.
Installation and adjustment are made simple with a patented single-point tilt adjustment mechanism, allowing precise alignment with minimal effort. The compact design, combined with its lightweight construction—ranging from 4 to 6 kilograms (9 to 13 pounds)—makes the fixture highly resistant to wind loads and jet blast effects, ensuring stability even in the most demanding airfield environments. The light supports flexible mast adaptations, allowing it to fit various pole diameters, and it can be mounted on tubes, poles, or base plates, enhancing its installation versatility.
Built to withstand harsh environmental factors, the 797 THRW features fully corrosion-proof components and is finished in aviation yellow for high visibility and regulatory compliance. It boasts high ingress protection with dust and water tightness ratings of IP68 and IP69, making it resistant to dust, dirt, and powerful water jets, suitable for long-term outdoor use in all weather conditions. The LEDs have a useful lifetime of up to 50,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and operational costs. This combination of durability, efficiency, and adaptability makes the TKH Elevated Threshold Wing Bar Light 797 THRW an excellent choice for modern airfield lighting systems.
