Features
• Part of a comprehensive range of 8 and 12 inch diameter inset
lights covering all aviation ground lighting requirements.
• Lightweight, sturdy, low-energy and environment friendly lighting
fixtures (no cadmium plating).
• Designed and built with simplicity and ease of maintenance in mind.
• Extensive use of aluminium alloys limits fixture weight to less than
8 kg to ease handling in the field.
• Many components are common to all F-range lights.
• Halved protrusion above ground (from 25,4 mm down to 12,7 mm)
reduces vibrations induced in aircraft landing gear and in lighting
fixture itself, thereby increasing lifetime, particularly for the lamps.
• Shallow gully in front of prism windows maintains optimal light output
under heavy rainfall.
• Smooth outer surface of light cover avoids tire damage and makes
light less sensitive to snowplows.
• Outer prisms mechanically clamped to light cover through moulded,
replaceable seals. Prism replacement by airport maintenance
personnel is fast and easy and does not require any sealing compound
or resin.
• No optical adjustment required after replacement of lamp or prism.
• Long life halogen lamps. 1000 hours at full intensity, in excess of
3000 hours in practical use.
• Standard adaptor rings for installation on 15˝/16˝ dia. FAA deep
bases. Specific rings available to fit mounting bases and seating
rings to other standards.
• Specific tools have been developed to ease installation and
subsequent maintenance.
• Plug for pressure-testing of fixture after overhaul.
• Low temperature lights. Temperature at centre of top cover remains
below 160 °C ICAO specified limit.

 Installation
Installation and Outline Dimension (in mm) The fitting may be installed either:
1) On a 12˝ aluminium shallow base with a depth of only 150 mm
developed for this purpose. After correct positioning and levelling
with a dedicated jig, the base is sealed in the pavement with
suitable resin. The wiring between fitting and isolating transformer
is installed in sawcuts filled with a similar sealant.
2) On a deep FAA L-868, LB1 or LB4 base (see cat leaflet
A.05.120) using a dedicated adaptor/flange ring.
Fig. 7 shows the example of a FAP-light mounted on a
16˝ diameter LB1 base.
For detailed information, please refer to the mounting instructions
supplied with the fittings.
ADB’s technical team is at the disposal of Users and Contractors
to provide guidance and advice in order to help solving any particular
installation problem.

Suggested specification

The Approach High Intensity Inset Light

shall be in compliance with ICAO Annex 14,
Vol. I, para. 5.3.4 and the mechanical
requirements of FAA AC 150/5345-46 (current
edition) for use as approach light in Category
I, II and III. Max. three lamps rated 105 W
max., shall be used. The expected life of
lamps shall not be less than 1000 hours at
full intensity. The projection above ground
level shall not exceed 12,7 mm.
Major parts of the light shall be made from
aluminium alloy. All parts, including hardware
shall be fully corrosion proof. The prisms shall
be user-replaceable without making use of
sealing compounds. The light shall resist all
stresses imposed by impact, roll over and
static load of present-day aircraft without
damage to light and to aircraft and vehicle
tyres.
The light shall suit for mounting on a 12˝
shallow base with a depth of 150 mm max.
or, using an adaptor/flange ring, on a standard
FAA 12˝ to 16˝ deep base. It shall be equipped
with a pressure relief plug to facilitate removal
of inner cover and to allow for air pressure
testing in water before reinstallation.
