LowdoLed MKIII elevated heliport light
Sub-250 mm elevated helipad perimeter light with NVG-ready IR output and addressable dimming across FATO and taxiway-edge applications.
The LowdoLed MKIII is a rugged elevated LED luminaire for helipad perimeter and guidance lighting, representing the third-generation evolution of Aerolighting's above-grade helipad fixture. Standing less than 250 mm tall, it sits within the frangibility envelope required by ICAO and CAP437 for lights positioned in the FATO, combining a low silhouette with the optical output required for visible-and-infrared operations. The unit covers a broad set of marking functions: FATO perimeter, taxiway edges, flight-path alignment, aiming points, and guidance systems — allowing a site to standardise on a single elevated fixture type and reduce spares complexity. Power consumption ranges from 8 W to 12 W depending on the variant, and all versions are addressable, dimmable, and remotely monitorable via KNX, DALI, or high-availability proprietary control buses. The integrated SafeBeam NVG-compatible output is available in every colour channel (green, white, blue, red, and yellow, each with an IR companion), making the MKIII directly relevant to military, SAR, and oil-and-gas operators whose helicopter crews use night-vision goggles routinely. EASA and CASA certification, alongside ICAO Annex 14 Vol I and II compliance, covers the regulatory jurisdictions encountered across GCC states, Australia-based offshore operators active in the Gulf, and European-certified air-medical operators. Swiss manufacture with a 5-year warranty and a design heritage of over 20 years provides the longevity assurance that procurement teams at government-owned hospitals and defence aviation agencies in the GCC require for a capital infrastructure item.
