S4GA approach lighting system is a permanent airfield lighting powered by solar energy. SP-401 Solar Approach Light is the key element of S4GA SALS. SP-401 lighting unit is ICAO compliant solar LED elevated airfield light designed for permanent usage at airports located in tropical, subtropical temperate zones. Ideal solution for remote locations with NO access to reliable electrical power supply and with high photovoltaic potential.
Get a quoteS4GA Approach Lighting is compliant with ICAO Annex 14th, and Aerodrome Design Manual. The lights have passed over 50 different tests provided by independent accredited laboratories. Test results confirmed S4GA compliance of photometry & chromaticity, jet blast resistance, frangibility, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), radio interference, secondary power supply, and other parameters.
No civil works, no trenching, no cabling is required to install S4GA solar approach lighting. The installation of a complete airfield lighting system takes only 20-30 working days.
Maintenance of S4GA lighting is easy and can be performed by local people. Planned maintenance includes replacing the batteries and cleaning solar panels. No need to involve external contractors to do maintenance of S4GA lighting. We provide free manuals, online video tutorials, and troubleshooting materials for airport engineers.
ALCMS makes maintenance even easier: airport technicians are notified in advance about upcoming maintenance (replacing the batteries, cleaning solar panels) or emergent maintenance (low battery level, light is offline).
Runway approach is a part of an airfield located before the beginning of a runway. This is the area where aircraft still cannot land but flies very close to the ground and approaches runway. Runway approach is an open area with no trees, high electrical cables or any other high objects that can interfere aircraft landing. This area, however, is not covered with an asphalt surface.
Approach Lighting System (or ALS) gives a visual indication of runway approach and helps pilots to do landing safely. Approach lighting consists of set of different types of lights. Construction of approahc lighting system is also different depending on the size of airport and types of aircrafts this airport can take flights from.
There are few types of ALS systems recognized by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). However, today airfield lighting suppliers offer much more variations of approach lighting systems. Most of them are high-intensity ALS.
Let’s have a look at the most common ALS systems:
If an airport is located in region with limited access to electrical infrastructure and high photovoltaic potential, solar powered approach lights will be the best solution. S4GA solar approach lights are ICAO-compliant airfield lights applicable for permanent usage at airfields. Solar approach lights can be used for short approach lighting systems – SALS, simplified short approach lighting systems (SSALS), omnidirectional approach lighting systems (ODALS) and few other types of ALS.
