Basic Info
Airport apron high mast lights are part of airfield ground lighting(AGL)systems with extremely stringent requirements.The Panasonic AELP series aims to provide reliable,non-interfering illumination for aircraft taxiing,parking,and servicing areas.Design must minimize potential interference with pilot sightlines and aviation communications,featuring high reliability and environmental shock resistance.
Customer reviews
Thomas Jensen · Chain Supermarket Property Director
After installing high mast lights in our large parking lot,surveillance footage clarity improved noticeably,strengthening security for vehicles and pedestrians.The even,shadow-free lighting has received positive customer feedback for feeling safer at night.The well-designed pole height and angle effectively prevent light intrusion into surrounding residential buildings.
Michael Brown · Petrochemical Park Safety Director
The explosion-proof high mast lights for oil & gas fully comply with ATEX Zone 2 standards. Their specialized heat dissipation and flameproof joint designs eliminate ignition risk. Internal components remain dry after routine high-pressure washing, and the anti-corrosion coating is intact in the corrosive atmosphere.
Mohammed Ali · Large Logistics Center Operations Manager
The high mast lights in the logistics center parking and aisels are highly reliable.Paired with motion sensors for'light-on-approach,dim-on-departure'operation,energy savings are substantial.The high CRI lighting facilitates nighttime goods sorting and verification.The rugged construction withstands daily impacts with minimal maintenance required.
Product Description
Features
Design must fully comply with International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO)and local aviation authority technical standards.Light distribution is highly precise,strictly limiting uplight and luminous intensity at specific angles to prevent pilot glare.Pole structure is streamlined to reduce wind drag and bird perching;surface color meets aviation warning requirements.Built-in multiple lightning/surge protection devices.Often features dual power supplies with automatic switching.

Specifications
Illuminance,uniformity,color temperature,and CRI have mandatory standards.Fixtures must operate continuously in extreme temperatures(-40°C to+55°C),high humidity,salt spray,and strong vibration.Maintenance is typically via hydraulic or electric lowering devices for ground-level safety.Control systems can integrate into the airport AGL monitoring network for real-time status feedback and smart dimming.

Applications
Specifically for civil airport aprons,taxiway links,areas outside maintenance hangars,and cargo aprons.Lighting must ensure ground crew can clearly identify aircraft contours,ground markings,and obstacles,while providing sufficient light for fueling,loading/unloading,and cleaning operations.It is critical for safe,efficient airport operation at night and in low visibility.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:What aviation authority standards must apron high mast lights comply with?
A:Must strictly comply regulations for illuminance,uniformity,glare control,color metrics,and reliability to ensure safety for aircraft ground operations.
Q:Why is light color critical for ground crew identifying aircraft guidance lines?
A:A neutral white color temperature(4000K-5000K)with high CRI(Ra>80)is standard,enabling ground crew to clearly and accurately identify aircraft colors,markings,and ground paint under the light.
Q:How to prevent glare pollution from strong light entering the cockpit?
A:Use precise cutoff optics.Pole height and spacing are calculated via simulation software to ensure downlight,with light reaching the apron via diffuse reflection,avoiding direct beams into cockpit windows.
Q:What special explosion-proof safety requirements exist for high masts in aircraft refueling zones?
A:In hazardous areas like refueling zones,luminaires must have appropriate explosion-proof ratings(e.g.,Ex d IIB T4)with reliable grounding to prevent electrical sparks from igniting fuel vapors.
Q:How is lighting reliability ensured during adverse weather(e.g.,fog,heavy rain)?
A:Luminaires need high IP rating(IP65+),with lenses designed to shed water.Reliable thermal management prevents internal fogging.Smart systems can increase output based on visibility sensors.
Q:What is the rapid response mechanism for daily maintenance of airport high masts?
A:A 7x24 emergency response system with dedicated crews and spare parts.Fault alarm modules or smart monitoring enable quick fault location and dispatch,minimizing downtime.
