LIRC
The LIRC LED Inset Runway Centreline and Rapid Exit Taxiway Centreline Light is designed for durability and efficiency. It features robust electronics resistant to shock and vibration, automatic frequency adaptation, and surge protection compliant with FAA standards. The light has a low protrusion of 6.35 mm to minimize vibrations, a smooth dome profile to resist snowplough damage, and is available in bidirectional or unidirectional configurations. It is constructed with a drop-forged dome and cast aluminum lower cover, ensuring sturdiness and lightweight handling. The light output remains stable in heavy rainfall due to a shallow channel design, and it has an IP68 protection rating, operating in temperatures from -55°C to +55°C.
The light is compatible with 8” diameter bases and can be adapted for 12” bases using an adaptor ring. Specific tools are available for precise installation.
The product complies with various international standards, including ICAO Annex 14, EASA CS-ADR-DSN, FAA L-850A-T(L), IEC TS 61827, NATO STANAG 3316, CAA CAP 168, and TCCA TP312.
It is suitable for runway centreline lighting for ICAO CAT I, II, and III, FAA, and military runways, as well as R.E.T.I.L. ICAO and FAA RWSL, THL, and RIL applications.
The LED light offers a rated life of 60,000 hours at full intensity, extending to over 100,000 hours in field conditions. It reduces lifecycle costs due to lower power requirements and compatibility with existing AFL infrastructure. The design allows for easy maintenance with fewer spare parts needed, and no optical adjustments are required after LED module or prism replacement.
The light has a power factor of 0.96 at 2.8A and 0.98 at 6.6A. Power consumption varies based on configuration, with unidirectional lights consuming 16 VA without an Arctic Kit and 36 VA with it, while bidirectional lights consume 29 VA or 32 VA without and 49 VA or 72 VA with an Arctic Kit.
A range of accessories and spare parts are available, including bases, adaptor rings, setting materials, and positioning jigs. The light unit and shallow base have respective weights of 3.7 kg and 3.2 kg, with a combined weight of 6.85 kg when including the adaptor ring.

APPLICATIONS Runway centreline for ICAO CAT I, II and III, FAA and military runways R.E.T.I.L. ICAO and FAA RWSL, THL and RIL (L-850T) applications BENEFITS • 60000 hours LED rated life at full intensity, but over 100000 hours in field operating conditions • In new installation, LED lights mean lower loads, lower size of CCRs and transformers, thus low life cycle costs • The light output is variable like a traditional halogen lamp, as indicated by the FAA "Engineering Briefing No.67" • Colour emitted directly by LEDs: absence of coloured filters ensures no energy losses and no colour shifts • Fully compatible with existing AFL infrastracture* • Designed with simplicity allowing longer maintenance intervals and fewer spare parts • No use of sealant to fix the prisms in the dome thanks to customized gaskets, making their replacement quick and easy • No optical adjustment after LED module or prism replacement • Valve for watertightness test after overhaul • Operating with any topology of CCRs designed in compliance with IEC or FAA requirements * For monitored fixtures, isolation transformer max size: 200VA PERFORMANCES • The electronic is strong-built and highly resistant to shock and vibration • Automatic adaptation to the frequency of the supply current • A surge protection device is provided in the electronics as required by the FAA "Engineering Briefing No.67" • Immediate detection of an internal fault • 6.35 mm protrusion strongly reduces vibrations to aircrafts and to light itself, increasing its lifetime • Dome smooth outer profile makes the light less sensitive to snowplough blades • Bidirectional or unidirectional, 8" dia. • Drop-forged dome and cast aluminium lower cover make the fitting sturdy, but lightweight too for ease handling in the field • Light output practically not affected by heavy rainfall thanks to the shallow channel in front of the prism windows • O-Ring placed outside the dome to avoid dirt deposits between light and base • Protection degree: IP68 • Temperature range: -55°C to +55°C INSTALLATION • Suitable for 8" dia. bases • Adaptor ring for installation on 12" dia. bases • Specific tools available for easy and precise installation (EnergyTechnology Via della Solidarieta, 2/1 40056 Valsamoggia Loc.
