High intensity, bidirectional elevated runway edge light
Low maintenance effort
Optimal solution for bad weather conditions
The fitting type 796 is a fixed-focus, high intensity, bidirectional, lightweight, elevated runway edge light constructed to meet the demands for easy mounting, levelling and service, capability to resist jet blast from today’s aerocrafts, and last but not least to give sufficient light intensity, in the right angles with the use of a standard lamp with an optimal life-time.
Application
The high intensity fitting type 796 is intended to be used in all weather conditions for edge lighting of instrument runways, designed for operation under CAT I, II and III conditions. It is also suitable as threshold and runway end light.
