AV-FL-DC
Universal DC Helipad Floodlight
AV-FL-DC Model
Avlite’s universal DC oodlight has been specically designed for helipads to provide
uniform surface lighting where the TLOF and FATO lights need to be supplemented with
oodlighting. It offers a 10-30VDC, LED based solution to the ICAO touchdown and lift-
off area perimeter oodlights.
The LED optic is specically designed for helipad operations, and distributes the light
evenly across the wide helipad surface. The angle of tilt of the LED luminaire can be
easily adjusted to focus the light on the helipad to maximise illumination. The optic
hood further prevents potential glare to pilots upon approach.
Housed in a weatherproof, powder-coated aluminium enclosure to withstand the
harshest of environments ,the assembly has a low prole of less than 25cm and
mounts to frangible points.

concrete pads should have a dimension of approximately 40cm x 40cm with with sufcient depth
depending on soil conditions. NOTE: As an alternative it is possible to use rubber tiles instead of
concrete pads.
• Embed four bolts. Use the Mount Base as a placing template
• Make sure the concrete pads are dry and hard before xing the Mount Base using washers and
screw nuts. Make sure the Mount Base is levelled
• Fix the Frangible Sleeve (76mm) on top of the Mount Base using the hex socket
• Fix the LED Floodlight Unit on top of the Frangible Sleeve
• Point the LED Floodlight Unit into the desired direction2. Make sure the LED Floodlight Unit is just
below 25cm high and levelled
• Fix the light by tightening the hex sockets at the Frangible Sleeve
• Connect the LED Floodlight Unit to a DC power supply
1Number of required / planned lights
2Please refer to “TLOF Light Arrangement” section of this manual
1. Before activating the lights, the lights must be layed out on the helipad in the
