Maintenance

Traditional airfield guidance signs contain up to 12 lamps. If each lamp lasts as long as its rated 1,000 hours, a single sign could result in over 50 lamp changes annually! Installations of our LED L-858 virtually eliminate ongoing maintenance. You’ll spend less time driving around the airfield, reducing opportunities for incursions, and gain valuable time for more important airfield maintenance tasks.

Construction

Our LED L-858 taxiway guidance signs are manufactured in the USA with the patented D-Lux design, the best modular design in airfield signage. Each module of a D-Lux sign is mounted on an evenly spaced pair of legs. The D-Lux slip flanges hold the legs secure with almost no gap in the assembly. Environmental forces are shared by the legs and cabinet, and not concentrated on the hardware.

On a D-Lux, each rounded face is made from expertly formed acrylic. Size 1 and 2 signs can be fitted with the optional Herculens panel, which is CNC machined from 3/8″ thick acrylic. The Herculens is factory installed on our Size 3 D-Lux, allowing the sign to shed jet blast without the use of bothersome flimsy plastic internal bracing or gimmicky cabinet “upgrades” employed by others.

Connecting the legend panels are translucent panel joints, which are welded together with adhesive and then additionally reinforced with stainless steel hardware.

The LED light engine provides remarkable reliability, eliminating the constant re-lamping required by traditional signs. Access to the D-Lux modules for maintenance or changing legends is simplified with our unique tool-free stainless fastener design.
