LED Airport Rotating Beacon (L-801A(L) Medium Intensity / L-802A(L) High Intensity) 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.
ETL-certified LED airport rotating beacons producing 50,000 cd (L-801A) or 75,000 cd (L-802A) at 12 RPM, with a patented belt-drive and 50,000-hour LED lamp life that eliminates the lamp and gear-oil maintenance cycle.
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.
