The BEACON-M1_23S is a high-performance LED heliport beacon specifically engineered to enhance heliport visibility under poor visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or darkness. Designed and manufactured in Italy, this beacon emits a powerful white light that flashes in the internationally recognized Morse code “H” pattern—a group of four white flashes—signaling the presence of a heliport to approaching pilots. Its output exceeds 2,500 candela, ensuring long-range visibility and compliance with critical aviation safety standards.
The light source is based on high-efficiency LEDs that produce a crisp white beam conforming to the CIE Chromaticity Boundary standards. This beacon offers 360° horizontal light distribution, providing consistent omnidirectional visibility from any angle of approach. Despite its powerful light output, the BEACON-M1_23S operates with remarkable energy efficiency. It consumes just 60 watts on average at a 20% duty cycle, with a peak power draw of 300 watts during operation. This allows the beacon to deliver high-intensity light performance without excessive energy demands.
Installation is quick and straightforward thanks to plug-and-play connections that reduce setup time and eliminate the need for specialized wiring or complex integration. The system is engineered for long-term durability with a service life of up to 100,000 hours and requires no routine maintenance. It operates reliably across a broad temperature range from -40°C to +55°C, making it ideal for extreme weather conditions.
The BEACON-M1_23S can be used as a standalone beacon or integrated into a larger lighting system via a control board. When paired with the Telemetry© remote management system, operators gain real-time monitoring and control capabilities, improving maintenance planning and system uptime.
Certified under ICAO Annex 14, Volume II, Chapter 5.3.2, the BEACON-M1_23S meets international standards for heliport lighting, making it suitable for a wide range of aviation environments. These include rooftop heliports in urban areas, surface-level heliports, offshore oil and gas platforms, and helidecks aboard marine vessels. Its rugged construction, energy-efficient design, and advanced control options make it a reliable and compliant solution for any heliport requiring enhanced visibility signaling.
