Mimic Components has introduced a robust, waterproof and corrosion proof LED-based helipad landing light.
The Aeroled-Helipad incorporates the latest ultra bright, high power white LED’s inside reinforced GLP housing, providing a maintenance-free landing light at a price that is competitive with conventional units.
The LED unit is exchangeable, but is capable of continuous use in excess of 10 years. The unit is well sealed and because regular changing of lamps is unnecessary, it prevents invasion of water due to the repeated removal of the lens and also deterioration of the seal, due to constant removal.
The Aeroled-Helipad is constructed from non-corrosive materials such as GLP and stainless steel and can be used in applications ranging from hospitals to marine. Capital installation costs are reduced due to the in-built constant current regulation specifications. This means that there is no need to purchase a very expensive constant current device to drive the lamps, in order to keep equal brightness in all the lamps due to voltage drop problems. The unit solves the problem by incorporating constant current circuitry within each lamp.
To simplify installation, the units are available in two voltage options: standard mains 230 V a.c. or 110 V a.c., which requires armoured cable and normal high voltage installation procedures, or alternatively, a low-voltage 60 V a.c. unit, which can safely be wired using low-cost, easy to install, flexible cable. The 60 V units require a transformer which is sized according to the number of lamps. A double wound isolated transformer is recommended, which also provides lightning protection when used with the appropriate equipment, as the Aeroled-Helipads can be totally isolated from all voltage surges in the normal mains.
Units meet all applicable aviation regulations for heliport lights.
