SP-102S SOLAR AIRFIELD LIGHT.
S4GA is a leading manufacturer of airport lighting in the world. It is also the only company that designs and manufactures solar (photovoltaic) airport lighting for permanent applications. Today (2024), S4GA distributes its solar runway lighting on a global scale. Thanks to this, S4GA was recognized as a reliable and promising partner.
S4GA is constantly expanding the range of lighting systems it offers; ascent fields, RWY and Helipad. For low-traffic and general aviation airports looking for simple, affordable runway lighting, S4GA offers the SP-102S solar-powered airport light. The lamp is intended for temporary runway illumination during occasional, seasonal and emergency flight operations.
Basic features of the SP-102S SOLAR AIRFIELD LIGHT individual luminaire:
Reliable and very easy to use. Battery powered. Charging with solar energy. Complies with aviation regulations. Radio remote control, optional.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
Airports with low traffic. General aviation airports and landing strips. Temporary runway lighting. Permanent airport lights. Taxiway and apron lighting.
CONFIGURATIONS:
Runway edge light (omnidirectional, white). Runway threshold/end light (two-way green/red). Taxiway light (omnidirectional, blue). Obstruction light (omnidirectional, red).
GOOD VISIBILITY.
The S4GA runway lights are visible from a distance of over 10 km, which has been tested and confirmed by pilots. Runway lighting offered by other manufacturers is characterized by much lower light output and different LED optics, which significantly reduces the viewing range. Visibility is one of the key features when we talk about the safety of aviation operations. S4GA invests a lot of time and money in designing and improving the safety of its airport lighting products and systems.
For those looking for runway lighting with IR optics (compatible with night vision goggles), the SP-102S will also be suitable. Military air bases usually request this. S4GA airport lights are NVG compatible and meet both civil and military regulations.
HIGH LIGHT AUTONOMY.
The SP-102S airport lamp is equipped with a large built-in battery. The battery ensures high autonomy of the flashlight and allows it to work for up to 90 hours on a single charge. The autonomy of the S4GA light is 3 times greater than that offered by other AGL manufacturers.
The battery can be charged and replaced. All S4GA airport lighting products use standard batteries, which customers can purchase from local stores.
FAST SOLAR CHARGING.
The runway lighting fixture is equipped with a 5W solar panel that charges the battery during the day. Thanks to the optimal inclination and size of the solar panel, the SP-102S lamp charges quite quickly.
CERTIFIED AND TESTED.
The SP-102S airport light complies with national and international aviation regulations – ICAO (global), FAA (USA), EASA (Europe), CASA (Australia), AFAC (Mexico), STANAG (NATO members). All S4GA airport lighting products have passed numerous tests and are certified by independent accredited laboratories.
DESIGNED FOR AIRPORTS.
S4GA lights have been designed specifically for airports. We are talking here primarily about elements that determine the efficiency of solar charging (how quickly the lamp can be charged) and the autonomy of the lamp when solar charging is unavailable. This distinguishes our company from other photovoltaic panel manufacturers offering lighting fixture designs originating from the maritime industry.
