The A704-5 solar-powered LED aviation light is a versatile and reliable Portable Solar Airfield Lighting System (PSALS). It is ideal for permanent, temporary and emergency applications. A revolutionary new optical lens design with high-intensity visible/IR dual-mode LEDs gives the A704-5 unparalleled effective intensity.
The A704-5 can be quickly deployed as a cost-effective runway lighting system. With no trenching or cabling required, a two-person crew can install a fully operational 5,000 ft. runway in one hour or less, making it ideal for use during emergencies or natural disasters.
Split-lens versions are available for caution (red/green) and threshold (amber/white) lighting applications.
