The low-intensity 8-inch FTO-H lights are part of a comprehensive range of 8- and 12-inch diameter inset lights for all aviation ground lighting requirements, specifically heliport lighting, including Touch-down and Lift-off (TLOF) and Final Approach and Takeoff (FATO) areas. Offering 1000 hours at full intensity and in excess of 3000 hours under normal operating conditions, these lights have a long life. The aluminum alloy-based lights, available with specific tools for easy installation and maintenance, are lightweight and easy to use. Some of the other benefits include optimal light output in all weather conditions and low energy consumption.

Features and Benefits
Efficiency
• Designed and built with simplicity and ease of maintenance in mind
• Extensive use of aluminum alloys reduces fitting weight and eases handling in the field
• Many components are common to all F-range lights
• Outer prisms mechanically clamped to light cover through molded, replaceable seals: prism replacement by Airport maintenance personnel is fast and easy and does not require any sealing compound or resin
• No optical adjustment required after replacement of lamp, lens or reflector
• Specific tools have been developed to ease installation and subsequent maintenance
• Plug for pressure-testing of fixture after overhaul
• Absence of negative slope guarantees optimal light output under worst weather conditions
