Solar LED Elevated Runway Guard Light (ERGL)
Applications
The Solar Series Elevated Runway Guard Light (ERGL) is a self-sustaining, completely autonomous airfield lighting technology, designed for permanent, temporary or portable airfield operations. With its self-contained design, the Solar Series ERGL eliminates the need for conventional power inputs, expensive infrastructure and daily energy and maintenance costs, while increasing airfield safety 24 hours per day in the most challenging climates around the world. The Solar Series ERGL offers a quick and effective solution to airfields, in support of efforts to prevent unnecessary runway incursions and enhance over-all airfield safety.
