The TKH Elevated Approach Light 797 APH is a high-quality LED lighting fixture specifically designed to provide reliable visual guidance for aircraft during approach procedures. This elevated approach light is engineered to meet stringent airport lighting requirements, combining durability, efficiency, and flexibility for installation and operation in diverse airfield environments.
The light is available with several power configurations to suit varying operational needs. The standard version consumes 36 watts, while the option with an integrated heating (de-icing) kit increases power consumption to 65 watts to ensure reliable performance in freezing or adverse weather conditions. Models that include circling guidance consume 45 watts, and those equipped with both circling guidance and heating draw 74 watts. This variety allows the light to maintain optimal visibility and functionality regardless of climate or visibility challenges.
Installation and adjustment are made straightforward by a patented single-point tilt adjustment, allowing precise alignment with minimal effort. The fixture’s compact size and lightweight design, weighing between 4 and 6 kilograms (9 to 13 pounds), contribute to its excellent resistance to wind loads and jet blast forces. This ensures stable and secure operation even in challenging airfield conditions. The 797 APH also offers flexible mast adaptation, allowing it to fit various pole diameters, and supports mounting on tubes, poles, or base plates to accommodate different airport infrastructure.
Constructed from fully corrosion-proof materials, the light is finished in aviation yellow to enhance visibility and comply with aviation standards. It features high ingress protection ratings of IP68 and IP69, making it completely dust-tight and resistant to powerful water jets, which ensures reliable operation under harsh weather conditions. With a useful LED lamp life of up to 50,000 hours, the TKH Elevated Approach Light 797 APH offers airport operators a durable, low-maintenance solution to enhance runway approach safety and operational efficiency.
