 |
|
I stumbled across a website that caught me by surprise.
http://www.solarairportlights.com/
Maybe some of you know a runway that needs lights?
It's amazing what they can do with the LED lights these days.
I've never seen them in use, but the video sure looked neat.
I wonder how much they are?

I wasn't aware until Dee and I bought an airport that
the standard low-intensity runway light is a 10w
lamp. Our lowest cost source for these lamps was a
sewing machine dealership that would order them for
us by the 24 count case . . . he had them in stock
for illuminators on sewing machines too.
LED's are a natural for this application. Don't need
much light but you DO want long life . . . our system
had just over 30 lamps spread over 1/2 mile of terrain.

Price is on the site. Looks like over $1000 per fixture. I’m fairly sure I can run wired low voltage for considerably less than $1000 a fixture. J

We have a set of the solar powered taxiway lights installed at 17J (Donalsonville, GA) and they have worked great for over two years. There have only been two problems that I am aware of. First, if it is cloudy for several days, the batteries will not charge enough for the lights to run all night (this has been an infrequent occurrence). Second is birds. They like to perch on top of the light assemblies where the solar cells are. If left alone they would leave enough deposits on top of the lamps to block out the solar cells to the point the batteries will not charge. We had to install wire spikes on the light assemblies to prevent them from landing on the lights.
As far as performance, they are as bright as a hard wired light assembly. If you did not know they were solar powered you would not know the difference.
