Certified white helipad lighting that defines the FATO zone and guides incoming aircraft on approach — available in 100 cd FATO and 350 cd Approach variants. Engineered & assembled in the UAE.
The Hardy Lighting Internally Lighted Windsock provides pilots with accurate wind direction and approximate speed indication during night operations and periods of reduced visibility. The internal LED light source at 5700K cool white evenly illuminates the sock fabric, ensuring the color markings remain clearly readable from the cockpit at any approach angle.
Available in a standard safe-area configuration and an Ex-rated configuration for hazardous area use, the same product platform covers the full spectrum of helipad, heliport and offshore installation requirements.
Rooftop helipads, hospital helipads, offshore helidecks, onshore heliports, and oil & gas facilities — anywhere helicopter operations are conducted after dark.
FATO (100 cd) for landing zone boundary marking and Approach (350 cd) for long-range approach guidance — both from the same product family, same certifications.
Light intensity, distribution and colour verified by an independent third-party institution. Meets ICAO and CAP 437 intensity and chromaticity requirements.
IP66 sealed enclosure and 240-hour neutral salt spray tested — proven for rooftop, offshore and coastal helipad environments.
Die-cast aluminium housing with UV-stable powder coating. Lightweight and corrosion resistant for long outdoor service life.
Adaptable to a range of helipad control systems, dimming circuits and power supply configurations.
Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. In stock and available for immediate dispatch from the UAE to global projects.
