Heliport lighting is used to make landing and taking off from helipads safer through greater visibility and enhanced information for pilots. This includes windsocks for wind direction and speed, helipad beacons for identifying the pad and perimeter lights for touchdown and lift-off. 

Types of heliport lighting 

The exact lighting requirements will depend on a number of factors including  the amount of space you have around the helipad and how the helipad is used. This may include:

• Perimeter lights (FATO and TLOF) - Used to mark the area of a helipad where the helicopter will land and take off from.
• Flood lights - Used to provide uniform surface lighting where the TLOF and FATO lights need to be supplemented with floodlighting.
• Approach lights - Indicate the preferred direction of approach in the area around the helipad.
• Obstruction lights - Should be used to mark any potential obstacles around the helipad.
• Aiming point lights - Should form a pattern of six, evenly spaced, omnidirectional white lights in a triangle. 
• Heliport beacon - A bright flashing light that indicates the location of the helipad. Should be provided when long-range visual guidance is necessary or identifying the heliport is difficult due to surrounding lights. 
• Illuminated Windsocks - Indicating direction and strength of wind.

Systems interface can supply mains powered and stand alone solar powered helipad lighting.
Solar powered lighting is ideal for off grid locations. It can be deployed quickly and saves on installation costs.

An optional wireless controller can be added to the setup for effortless control of your heliport. This creates a 2.4Ghz wireless network to which lights and a controller connect to. Controls include; light intensity, switch between visual or infra-red and turn the whole system ON or OFF.

Pilot Activate Lighting Control systems are also available for solar and mains powered helipad lighting.
