HeliX Series inset heliport light vs Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System / A-VDGS (RLG Docking Systems, distributed by Vardhman Airport Solutions)
Spec comparison for two products on Aviation Souk. Both compete in Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical.
Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical
HeliX Series inset heliport light
by Aerolighting SA
150 mm inset helipad light with 3.8 mm protrusion, Schott borosilicate glass rated beyond 10,000 kg direct load, and native NVG-IR output.
Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical
Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System / A-VDGS (RLG Docking Systems, distributed by Vardhman Airport Solutions)
by Vardhman Airport Solutions
A 3D laser-scanning docking guidance system from RLG Docking Systems (Taiwan) that tracks incoming aircraft nose position in real time and displays stopping and azimuth guidance to the flight deck — eliminating the weight and height variables that defeat simpler optical systems.
