HeliX Series inset heliport light

The HeliX Series is Aerolighting's flagship inset LED light for helipads and heliports, designed to be flush-mounted in the TLOF and FATO surface while withstanding the full static and dynamic loads imposed by helicopter undercarriages. At 150 mm diameter with a glass protrusion of just 3.8 mm, the HeliX presents minimal tripping hazard to personnel and near-zero disruption to rotor-wash aerodynamics across the pad surface. The lens is manufactured from Schott borosilicate glass — the same optical-grade material used in laboratory and aerospace-grade optics — rated to withstand over 10,000 kg of direct vertical load without failure. This exceeds the structural requirements for heavy offshore helicopters and large utility rotorcraft, giving procurement engineers a meaningful safety margin beyond the minimum ICAO and CAP437 load specifications. Every HeliX variant ships with a co-located infrared LED source calibrated to the ICAO-recommended IR radiometric spectrum, making visible and NVG operation available from the same fixture without a second inset product. Color options span green, white, blue, red, and yellow — each with the IR companion — covering every marking function from TLOF edge lighting to centreline and aiming points. Power consumption runs 4 W to 12 W per unit. The WatBar physical barrier at the cable connection prevents moisture ingress through the conduit path — an often-overlooked failure mode in inset lights on heavily irrigated or rain-exposed pads. Over 600 HeliX units are in service globally. The 5–10 year warranty and broad multi-authority certification (ICAO, CAP437, FAA, EASA, CASA, DGAC-STAC) make the HeliX the logical choice for GCC hospital networks and offshore operators seeking a single TLOF inset fixture that satisfies GCAA, QCAA, and GACA regulatory submissions simultaneously.
