 Product Specification   

The TLOF, or touchdown and liftoff area edge light, is a type of LED light used for illuminating helipads or helicopter landing areas. This article aims to provide comprehensive information about TLOF lights, including their features, performance, applications, and after-sales service.

Since the foundation of 2017, Flylight manufactures and designs all kinds of helipad lights and beacons, like heliport touchdown light, elevated perimeter lights, inset lights, half inset lights, flood lights, HAPI,etc. Those lights are widely used for applications like commercial, private, government, military, hospitals, etc. Those lights must be compliant with ICAO & FAA standard, especially for the photometric and chromaticity.

Regulations for helipad lights and heliport lighting system has changed a lot these decades, Explore the latest regulations from us and reach our heliport lighting experts to ensure your products, solutions are 100% compliant with relative standards.

The general aviation helipad lighting system diagrams below assume only one helicopter will ever be within the FATO. If more than one helicopter will be in use, a separate FATO with its own TLOF is required.

Helicopter landing pad lights required by the FAA include final approach and take off (FATO) lights, touchdown and lift-off area (TLOF) lights and landing direction lights.

Additional helipad lights may be required or recommended based on a site's aeronautical study:

• Flight path alignment  lights mark the direction of approach and/or departure flight paths.

• Helicopter approach  path indicator (HAPI) lights may be used to provide glideslope guidance to pilots.

• A helicopter windsock indicates wind direction and speed. If the helipad will serve nighttime flights, the wind cone must be lit.

• A heliport beacon may help pilots visually identify the helipad.

• Helipad taxiway centerline (bidirectional green) and taxiway edge lights (omnidirectional  blue) may improve taxiway taxi route visibility.

• Red obstruction lights to mark any obstacles near the helipad or its approach and departure  path.

• A helicopter approach lighting system (HALS) bearing a distinct design ensures the heliport is   not mistaken for an airport approach lighting system and runway.

1 Technical Parameters

1.1 Technical Parameters

The following parameters are obtained under normal temperature test. (25℃)

2. Features of Lamp

TLOF lights are designed to be highly visible, weather-resistant, and durable. They are typically installed around the perimeter of the landing area to provide pilots with a clear visual reference during take-off and landing. The lights emit bright green light, which makes it easier for pilots to locate the landing area. They are also energy-efficient, with low power consumption and long service life.

1. Green light, horizontal 360º omnidirectional light;

2. Imported LED, low light decay, long life, high efficiency and energy saving;

3. Special prism structure and manufacturing process, excellent optical effect;

4. Lightweight aluminum alloy lamp body, good heat dissipation effect, light structure;

5. Simple installation and maintenance-free;

6. Stable work, strong anti-interference ability, anti-vibration;

7. Fully sealed structure, superior waterproof performance;

8. With anti-surge protection device;

9. The product is designed for easy folding, which can effectively reduce the secondary damage to the aircraft;

10. The lampshade is made of PC material, which is resistant to corrosion and UV.

Performance

The performance of TLOF lights can be measured in terms of their brightness, durability, and reliability. The lights must be bright enough to be visible in a range of weather conditions and must be able to withstand exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. Additionally, TLOF lights are required to be reliable and have a long service life to minimize maintenance costs and downtime.

Applications

TLOF lights are used in various applications, including commercial and military helipads, private landing areas, and emergency helicopter landing sites. They provide critical lighting for pilots, especially in low-light conditions or areas where there is limited visibility. The lights are also useful for guiding rescue and medical helicopters to emergency landing areas, such as hospitals or accident scenes.

3. Installation

a) Please read carefully the product specification before using the driver to make sure the operation environment can meet the requirement as per the specification.

b) While connecting the tube to the power, please make sure the switch is "off".

c) Do not disassemble the lamp by yourself.
