The PHL elevated LED lights mark the perimeter (FATO) of a heliport. The FAA recommended perimeter color is green. The international recommended color is green. The recommendations are
not legally mandated. The purpose of the PHL’s halogen floodlight is to provide light "washing" the pad surface to provide better depth perception to the pilot than simply having perimeter lights. It improves conspicuity to the pilot but does not provide even illumination of the pad surface that may be required for other reasons.
The floodlight includes a metal stone guard to protect the lens and a hood to reduce glare to the pilot. The overall height is 16
-inches for compatibility with standard height
PEL's to be used together on the same perimeter. The colored LED perimeter light and the halogen
floodlight may be separately circuited if independent control is required.
