Airport

Flash Technology provides lights for any approach lighting configuration; from REILs to complete ALSF II systems. We manufacture strobe lights in omni and unidirectional styles, as well as both current and voltage driven systems. Our Complete MALSR and ALSF systems meet all applicable FAA specifications, as do all of our approach lighting systems.

Our current-driven systems can be powered and controlled directly from the constant current regulator to the runway lighting circuit, greatly reducing installation costs.  They are available in omni-directional, unidirectional, or inset design, and can be configured to meet any requirement from REILs to ALSF systems.

The voltage-powered systems are also manufactured in omni and unidirectional styles, and they too can be configured into any type of approach lighting system.

Benefits of Flash Technology Approach Lighting Systems

• Available in either current or voltage driven styles.
• Flash head can be co-mounted or separately mounted.
• Excellent training and technical support.
• Engineered for long life and reliability.

Features

• Meets all applicable regulations: FAA, ICAO, and Transport Canada
• Approach lights for any configuration: REIL, ODALS, MALSR, SSALR, ALSF I & II
• Solid-state circuitry, safety interlocks and internal surge protection.

Options

• Both systems can be set for single or three-step intensity and are field programmable.
• Monitoring available for both current and voltage systems.
• Heliport Acquisition Beacon and Wave-off Lighting also available.

Omni-directional Configurations (400 series)

FTS 412 (REIL – 2 flashing lights): Voltage-powered Runway End Identifier Lights
Used to identify the approach end of a runway. REILs are particularly important for poor weather conditions and long approaches. The flash head and power converter may either be co-mounted as a single unit or located separately.

FTS 432 (REIL – 2 flashing lights): Current-driven version of FTS 412
Powered directly from the constant current regulator, thus directly connectable to existing runway lighting circuit. Components may be co-mounted or installed separately.


FTS 417 (ODALS – 7 flashing lights): Voltage-powered Omni-directional Approach Lighting System
The 360-degree visibility of this light, produced in a sequenced flash pattern, helps pilots identify the runway in use. The flash head and power converter may either be co-mounted as a single unit or located separately.

FTS 437 (ODALS – 7 flashing lights): Current-driven version of FTS 412
Powered directly from the constant current regulator, thus directly connectable to existing runway lighting circuit. Components may be co-mounted or installed separately.

Unidirectional Configurations (800 series)

FTS 812 (REIL – 2 flashing lights): Voltage-powered Runway End Identifier Lights
Used to identify the approach end of a runway. The versatility of the FTS 812 makes it a compatible addition to the more elaborate LDIN systems.

FTS 832 (REIL – 2 flashing lights): Current-driven version of the FTS 812
Powered directly from the constant current regulator, the FTS 832 is directly connectable to existing runway lighting circuit.

FTS 815 (MALSR – 5 flashing lights): Voltage-powered Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with runway Alignment Indicator Lights
Used by pilots during landing approach to align the aircraft with the center of the runway. The versatility of the FTS 815 makes it a compatible addition to the more elaborate LDIN systems.

FTS 835 (MALSR – 5 flashing lights): Current-driven version of FTS 815
Powered directly from the constant current regulator, the FTS 835 is directly connectable to existing runway lighting circuit.

FTS 8021 (ALSF I & II – 21 flashing lights): Voltage-powered Approach Lighting System with Sequential Flashing Lights
A highly conspicuous pilot aid, marking the center of a runway.
