The RELIANCE 2 Inset 12" LED Stopway Light is a robust, high-efficiency airfield lighting solution designed specifically for stopway applications, conforming to international aviation standards. Featuring a low-profile design, this unidirectional LED fixture delivers consistent, high-intensity illumination across 60-meter-wide stopways. It is compliant with ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1 and Australia MOS 139 standards, ensuring global compatibility and regulatory adherence. The 12-inch RELIANCE 2 fixture is engineered to support safe aircraft deceleration during aborted takeoffs or overruns, making it a critical element in runway safety systems.
Available in three configurations, the RELIANCE 2 supports diverse airfield lighting system needs. These include RELIANCE IQ with integrated ILCMS remote capabilities for intelligent lighting control and monitoring; RELIANCE with integrated fail-open (Mon) technology that supports legacy monitoring systems through replaceable fuse resistors; and a standard non-monitored RELIANCE version for straightforward, reliable performance. Precision-aligned optics are engineered to deliver optimized photometric output and maximize LED life, while the reduced bottom pan profile allows installation in shallow base cans—ideal for airfields with limited installation depth.
The fixture incorporates pulse-width modulated (PWM) LEDs operating at 400 Hz, minimizing perceptible flicker even to moving human observers. Fully dimmable across all constant current regulator steps, RELIANCE 2 matches the dimming curve of traditional halogen lighting systems and is compatible with both IEC and FAA electrical standards. The low-protrusion, Style 3 design (≤ 6.35 mm) ensures minimal interference with aircraft movement, and the fixture maintains a flat profile with no negative slope in front of the optical prisms.
Sustainability and environmental resilience are central to the RELIANCE 2 design. The fixture includes a fully encapsulated, all-in-one universal power supply compatible with other inset lights across runway, taxiway, approach, and omni applications. High-efficiency LEDs minimize energy consumption while delivering long operational life. A reinforced top cover, substantially exceeding standard durability benchmarks, enhances longevity in demanding environments. The IP68-rated enclosure is constructed with corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware and offers optional reinforced prisms for even greater durability. RELIANCE 2 is designed for direct retrofit into existing LED inset lighting systems, streamlining upgrades without infrastructure overhaul.
From a safety and maintenance standpoint, RELIANCE 2 features a mechanically enhanced design to improve strength and simplify servicing. It includes a fail-open option to maintain compatibility with existing monitoring systems, supports advanced ILCMS integration, and complies with FAA Engineering Brief 67D for failed-LED detection. Integrated lightning protection meets ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 standards (Category C2), capable of withstanding combination wave surges of 10,000 volts and 5,000 amps—ensuring long-term operational reliability in the harshest weather conditions.
Power supply options for the RELIANCE 2 include non-monitored configurations that provide power only, monitored versions with integrated fail-open technology, and the IQ variant equipped with a built-in ILCMS remote interface for seamless integration into modern intelligent airfield lighting control systems. This versatility, combined with its rugged construction, advanced optics, and regulatory compliance, makes RELIANCE 2 an ideal choice for enhancing runway safety and operational reliability on stopways worldwide.
