CEL Aviation offers an extensive range of LED Obstruction Lights and Obstacle lighting and safety products, which include the following:

  • Led obstruction lights / obstacle lighting and controllers.
  • Fully impact tested composite structures for airport safety systems such as frangible approach lighting masts and poles, ILS localiser and glide path towers, wind measuring systems, anemometers, fencing.
  • A wide range of AGL isolating transformers and primary and secondary connector kits.

LED Obstruction Lights and Obstacle Lighting - 2nd Generation Low and Medium Intensity

CEL Aviation offer the new 2nd generation range of led based obstruction lights and obstacle lighting for Aeronautical Aids to Navigation, our products are used for tall buildings, television towers, electricity pylons, wind farm turbines, bridges/ports and airport environments.

All lights have been approved for ICAO and FAA requirements and UK CAA regulation CAP 168.

CEL lights range comprise of low & medium intensity lights, controllers for flash and photocell, PSU’s, portable lights, replacement fittings, solar applications and more.

Key Points

  • Expected life time of more than 15 years
  • Exceptionally long 5 years warranty
  • 95% lower energy consumption in comparison to traditional obstacle lights
  • Maintenance-free
  • Easy to install due to small size and low weight
  • Shock and vibration proof
  • Long life time and reliability reduces significantly maintenance costs
  • Low operating costs due to low energy consumption
  • Suitable for solar power applications
  • Eco-efficiency due to low material intensity, low energy consumption and long life time
  • Competitive price in spite of outstanding advantages

Key features of the new product line:

  • Very flexible mechanical installation
  • Large set of installation accessories available
  • More robust mechanical design
  • More professional like design
  • All mechanical parts are marine grade aluminum, acid proof steel or glass and suitable for offshore use
  • Lower power consumption (lowest in the world)
  • Built in photocell/flasher as option
  • Can be daisy chained (no connection box needed)
  • With the second generation LED lights we have maximized the reliability.

Safety Frangible Approach Lattice Masts and Poles

Approach Lighting and Lights Solutions - Exel masts are full scale impact tested to verify compatibility with ICAO's frangibility requirements as specified in ANNEX 14 Volume I and Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 6, Frangibility.

Upon impact, the tower may fragment and the mass of these released components should not cause a secondary hazard to the aircraft (e.g. enter through the windscreen, fuselage, tail surfaces).

ICAO defines a frangible structure should be designed to withstand the static and operational wind or jet blast loads with a suitable factor of safety but should brake, distort or yield when subjected to the sudden collision.

Product Range:

  • Poles for single lights.
  • Lattice masts for single and multiple lights.
  • Extra tall lattice masts up to 35 m.
  • Standard colours Aviation Yellow, FAA-orange.

Main advantages:

  • Fully compliant with ICAO requirements.
  • Project design support, foundation load calculations, pre-installation instructions.
  • Straight forward installation, detailed manual included, UV-protected, long service life.
  • tiltable from the base or mid height, quick and easy maintenance of luminaires.
  • Practically maintenance free.

Frangible Glide Path Towers and ILS Localiser Supports

ADM6 states:

Structures located within the graded portion of the runway strip not meeting the frangibility requirement, such as an existing non-frangible ILS glide path antenna, should be replaced by a frangible structure, if practicable, and relocated within the non-graded portion of the runway strip.

Existing structures located within a distance of 300 m from the runway end not meeting the frangibility requirement, such as an existing non-frangible ILS localizer antenna array, should be replaced by a frangible structure or relocated beyond a distance of 300 m from the runway end.

Frangible GP-Tower delivery includes

  • Anchor bolts and casting template.
  • Sub-assemblies for on site assembly of tower sections.
  • Antenna brackets that allow adjustment of antennas both vertically and horizontally.
  • Cable conduits.
  • Ladder and safety rail.
  • LED Obstruction lights.
  • Exel poles and lattice masts can be applied to support localizer antennas, subject to the height and the size of the antennas.

Safety Frangible Wind Direction Indicators and Anemometers

Masts for Weather Measurement, Wined Socks and Monitoring

ADM6 states:

Support structures for wind direction indicators, transmissometers and forward scatter meters should be tested for frangibility in accordance with procedures for approach lighting towers.

Exel poles and lattice masts have been full scale impact tested to verify compliance with frangibility ruling. Wind cone masts are supplied as complete assemblies with wind cone and obstruction light or as a frangible support only.

Frangible Airport Fencing

ADM6 states:

  • a lightweight frangible fence should be installed when located between frangible approach lighting towers or when located to protect the ILS critical and sensitive areas against unlawful interference.

Frangible Exel Fencing

  • available for airport perimeter or individual ground installations
  • transparent to electro-magnetic signals
  • does not interfere with ILS or MLS systems
  • available in standard heights of 2,0 m or 2,5 m, with different spacing and colouring
  • difficult to climb due to absence of cross bars in the panels and the sharp
  • saw-toothed top
  • designed and tested to withstand jet blasts
  • UV-resistant and non-corrodible

AGL Transformer and Connector Kits

AGL series and parallel transformers, primary and secondary pluggable and resin filled connectors and cable assemblies for airfield lighting systems.

AGL Transformers and connectors are in use all around the world, manufactured in Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with excellent electrical and mechanical properties.

Comply to FAA, ICAO and MAK Regs.
