Solutions based on uniquedesign objectivesOur airfield lighting solutions are designed with a system perspective inmind and are produced with top quality to comply with stated regulations.Even though all types of airfield light fittings serve the same purpose,Idman solutions are unique in the following:Low projection on all light applicationsThe lamp doesn’t stick up much above the ground surface, and avoidtherewith a lot of pressure and heaviness from aircraft and vehicles drivingover it, which greatly increases the lamp’s total service time. This alsoprevents pilots and drivers from the inconvenience of hitting a higher lightfitting when driving.10

A top cover designed for not scratchingthe prismsThe top of the lamp is designed to protect the prisms during maintenance,and also if a vehicle should drive over it. This means that the prism willfunction significantly safer and longer, providing better safety and a betterlife cycle cost for the lamps.No tools for re-lampingMaintenance is facilitated in many ways, there is for example no need touse tools for re-lamping since all lamps have screw threads and similar.This means that the maintenance staff can re-lamp quicker and easier, savingtime for other activities.Bases with anti-rotation spinsThe lamps have anti-rotation spins that make them securely fixed in thebase. This means that the whole construction is tougher and more durable,leading to longer service time and lesser need for costly replacements.
