A704-VL
The A704-VL is a Solar Powered FAA and ICAO compliant Helipad light available in Blue, Green, and White. Like the A-704, it also available in 3 Sizes - Compact, Standard and Large, so we are able to offer you the choice of product which offers the most cost effective solution for your requirements.
- Helipad Compliance: The A704-VL optically complies to the latest ICAO & FAA regulations and military specs for all helipad applications: FATO, TLOF, taxiway, approach, landing, flight path, and aiming point.
- Theft Deterrent: Non-standard batteries secured in a locked compartment make theft difficult and unattractive.
- Infrared NVG Mode: All products include infrared mode that makes the light visible with Night Vision Goggles (NVG) for military operations.
- Easy to transport: The compact model weighs only 4.9 kg (11 lb), stands 21.4 cm (8.4 in), and has a built-in handle.
- Highly Durable Construction: Powder coated aluminum and polycarbonate chassis, with a choice of yellow or olive drab (military green) color.
- Bright and Low Maintenance Lighting: LED lights last 100,000+ hours and never need a change. Green light peak intensity reaches up to 288 candela.
- Long Lasting Batteries: Batteries are encased with metal and last 5-10 years in the field, withstanding operating temperatures within -40° C to 80° C.
- Secure and long-range wireless control (optional): Wireless signal encrypted in 256 bit for added security and controllable up to 4 km. Extra signal strength increases reliability in poor weather or when not in line-of-sight.
