What is the lighting unit lifespan?
Lifespan of the lighting unit mainly depends on few components:
– Battery lifespan is calculated in cycles. S4GA battery offers 1.200 cycles. However, after 4-5 years the battery could start losing its capacity and should be replaced as soon as possible.

How long can the lights operate without charging?
From 25 to 100 hrs. Why? It depends of course on intensity level, mode set and type of the light. E.g. in steady mode on minimum intensity level fully charged battery can provide runway edge light with up to 36 hours of operations. With the same parameters, taxiway light (blue) will work for 105 hours. Taxiway light is required to provide much lower light output than runway edge light.
Are your lights halogen or LED?
We use LED. Lifespan of LED that we use is 50.000 hours.
How many intensity level steps?
3 levels of intensity: 10%, 30%, 100%.
Do your lights work in extreme temperatures?
Yes. Standard batteries operate in -20 to 50 ºC (-4 to 122 ºF). Special “Arctic” battery pack offers much greater range from -40 to 80 ºC (-40 to 176 ºF).
