The TKH Inset Omnidirectional Inset Light Type TXO is a robust and high-performance aviation ground lighting solution engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern airfields. Designed for seamless integration into airfield surfaces, the fixture features an 8-inch outer diameter and rises just 4.57 millimeters above the surface, allowing for low-profile, unobtrusive installation. Its recessed design extends 35 millimeters below the flange, and the Ø 80 mm light outlet ensures optimal light distribution across a wide area.
Built for long-term durability and all-weather performance, the TXO light is rated IP68 for complete protection against dust and water ingress. With an overall lifetime exceeding 20 years and a useful LED lamp life of up to 50,000 hours, this inset light delivers exceptional longevity and low maintenance needs. The chromaticity coordinates comply with ICAO Annex 14, Volume 1 and FAA AC 150/5345-46E standards, ensuring accurate color representation and safety across a range of aviation applications.
The TXO operates on a nominal 6.6-amp current and is capable of full-range dimming from 0 to 100 percent. Power consumption varies depending on color: 10 watts for yellow and white, 9 watts for red, and 8 watts for blue, with a voltage range from 0.9 volts at 0.1% output to 1.5 volts at full intensity. The fixture maintains a power factor greater than 95% at nominal current, maximizing energy efficiency. Designed to perform in extreme conditions, it operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -55°C (-67°F) to +85°C (+185°F).
Advanced features include an internal serial interface for diagnostics and parameterization, enabling real-time system monitoring and configuration. Optional capabilities such as a fail/open function enhance operational safety by providing fault tolerance. The TXO is also available with integrated single lamp control through CEDD® technology—a smart, safe, and sustainable airfield ground lighting system that transmits energy and data via a single cable. Using inductive power transfer, CEDD® enables quick, contactless installation and replacement of lighting units without the need for direct electrical connections, significantly simplifying infrastructure maintenance and enhancing airfield safety. The TKH Inset TXO light combines durability, energy efficiency, regulatory compliance, and intelligent control in one compact, future-ready solution for omnidirectional airfield illumination.
