Plastic and glass optics for LED module in SP-401 airfield light

• Glass optics has much smoother light distribution in required angles which means lower power consumption with the same brightness. In other words, now the light will work longer without recharging.
• Glass is more weather resistant comparing to polycarbonate. This is crucial for sunny and sandy regions where polycarbonate parts stale faster. Dome in SP-401 light which protects LED module is also made of glass.
• Easier replacement of LED module. SP-401 runway light has a convertible optical head. In simple words, airport personnel can convert blue taxiway lights to red obstruction lights by simple replacing of LED optics. A new glass optics has better positioning over LED module which means better accuracy of its replacing
