AV-426 Solar Aviation Light vs Constant Current Regulator (CCR) & Airfield Lighting Control & Monitoring System / ALCMS (distributed/integrated by Vardhman Airport Solutions)
Spec comparison for two products on Aviation Souk. Both compete in Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical.
Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical
AV-426 Solar Aviation Light
by Avlite Systems
Self-contained solar MIRL aviation light in compact or standard chassis, designed for permanent runway edge, threshold, approach, and helipad marking with optional RF group control.
Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical
Constant Current Regulator (CCR) & Airfield Lighting Control & Monitoring System / ALCMS (distributed/integrated by Vardhman Airport Solutions)
by Vardhman Airport Solutions
An integrated microprocessor-controlled series-circuit power supply and airport-wide lighting supervisory system — the CCR and ALCMS working together to maintain constant lamp current across all five brightness steps while giving ATC complete monitoring and switching authority over every airfield lighting circuit.
