The RELIANCE 2 Taxiway Centerline Inset Light is an advanced, low-profile 8-inch LED fixture engineered for use in taxiway applications, including taxiway centerlines, lead-in guidance paths, and intermediate holding positions. Designed in compliance with international aviation standards, this inset light meets the latest requirements from ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1, IEC 61827, NATO STANAG 3316, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, STAC PRO/STAC/SE/VIS, Canada TP 312, Australia MOS 139, and China CAAC, ensuring its suitability for global civil and military aviation environments. It is available in unidirectional or bidirectional configurations, and can be equipped with the intelligent IQ built-in ILCMS remote control system to support modern monitoring and control infrastructures.
Engineered for maximum efficiency and performance, the RELIANCE 2 is offered in three configurations to meet diverse airport needs: the RELIANCE IQ with integrated intelligence, the RELIANCE with integrated fail-open monitored technology (which includes fuse resistors for safety and must be maintained accordingly), and the RELIANCE Non-MON, a non-monitored version for simplified deployment. All variants utilize precisely aimed optics to enhance photometric output, maximizing visibility while prolonging the lifespan of the LEDs. The fixtures are designed with a reduced bottom pan profile to enable installation in very shallow base cans, making them ideal for retrofit or space-constrained airfield environments. A visual top cover indicator makes it easy to distinguish taxiway fixtures from runway lights during installation, minimizing errors. Using 400 Hz pulse width modulation (PWM), the LEDs offer smooth performance without perceptible flicker, even to a moving observer, across all steps of constant current regulator systems, and they follow a halogen-style dimming curve to align with legacy system behavior.
Built with sustainability and longevity in mind, the RELIANCE 2 Taxiway Centerline Light incorporates fully encapsulated, all-in-one universal power supplies, applicable across the entire Runway, Taxiway, Approach, and Omni inset fixture families. It features the latest LED technology to deliver high brightness at low power consumption, while a reinforced top cover far exceeds durability standards to extend service life. The IP68-rated enclosure ensures optimal resistance to water, dust, and other environmental factors, and stainless-steel fastenings offer corrosion resistance in extreme climates. Designed for seamless compatibility, RELIANCE 2 lights can directly replace existing inset LED fixtures with minimal disruption or infrastructure changes.
The RELIANCE 2 prioritizes operational safety with several built-in protective features. Its mechanical design has been enhanced to streamline component integration and facilitate easier maintenance. For airfields that use legacy monitoring systems, the fail-open option maintains compatibility while enabling more advanced control possibilities. The system includes failed-LED detection as outlined in FAA Engineering Brief 67D and boasts robust lightning protection in line with ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 (Location Category C2), capable of withstanding a 10,000-volt, 5,000-amp surge from a 1.2/50μs – 8/20μs combination wave. These safeguards ensure reliable and resilient performance in even the most demanding operational conditions.
