Avlite's REIL (Runway End Identification Light) is a low powered, energy efficient LED light used to identify the runway threshold during an approach. The solar REIL installs in minutes with no trenching, cabling, or mains power required, and can be easily and quickly relocated.
The REIL system is used to identify the threshold (approach end) of a visual or instrument non-precision runway and provides guidance to pilots during approach for landing. The Runway End Identification Light consists of two unidirectional simultaneous flashing lights. A light is located at each side of the runway threshold. The lights have a beam coverage of 10° vertically and 30° horizontally with a flash rate of two flashes per second. The REIL meets the photometric beam requirements for MALSR, SSALR and ALSF-I/II.
The integrated solar module and battery system offers considerable savings in power and installation costs. The solar module can be angled to maximise solar collection to charge the battery.
