The S4GA Airport Beacon Light is a high-performance LED aeronautical beacon designed to enhance night-time visibility and assist in identifying aerodromes, particularly when airports are difficult to locate by other means. Compact, lightweight, and durable, this LED beacon light is engineered with patented optics, electronics, and mechanical components to ensure reliability and ease of installation. The fixture is fully compliant with ICAO Aerodromes – Annex 14 Volume 1, Paragraph 5.3.3 on Aeronautical Beacons, making it suitable for both commercial and regional airfields.
Utilizing advanced LED technology, the S4GA Airport Beacon Light emits a flashing white signal in night mode with an intensity greater than 2,000 candela. It supports a flash pattern ranging between 20 and 30 flashes per minute, with a 360° horizontal beam and a vertical beam spread greater than 1°, providing excellent visibility from all directions. The precision PMMA lens and light output alignment device ensure optimal beam control and consistent performance.
Engineered for longevity and energy efficiency, the beacon boasts a life expectancy exceeding 10 years with low power consumption. It is designed to operate on either 110–230 VAC or 24 VDC, allowing flexible integration into existing airport infrastructure. The beacon produces no RF radiation and is built around a constant current LED driver, enhancing electrical stability and operational safety.
Built for the harshest outdoor environments, the beacon features a corrosion-resistant anodised aluminium body painted in yellow, combined with a borosilicate glass protective cover and high-durability VMQ silicon rubber seals. The housing includes an integrated wind collector and internal heat sink to maintain optimal thermal management. It is rated IP66 for ingress protection, tested for wind resistance up to 240 km/h (150 mph), and offers vibration resistance up to 80 m/s². An anti-condensation Gore-Tex valve further supports operation in fluctuating environmental conditions. The beacon is suitable for temperatures ranging from -30°C to +50°C and has a total lamp weight of approximately 6 kg.
The beacon can be equipped with optional features such as a GPS synchronization module, white/green alternating flashes for land aerodromes (replacing the standard white-only flashes), and a dedicated beacon support bracket for simplified mounting. The accompanying control box is constructed from RAL 7035-painted mild steel and includes key protection elements like a surge arrester, overvoltage protection, a fault alarm, and a photocell for automatic night/day activation.
Altogether, the S4GA Airport Beacon Light provides a rugged, efficient, and compliant solution for airfield identification, enhancing safety and visibility for pilots and air traffic controllers during nighttime and low-visibility operations.
