Commercial LED Airport Lights

What are LED Airport Lights?

LED Airport Lights include specialized lighting systems for aviation infrastructure. We focus on hangar lighting, parking lot illumination, terminal fixtures, high mast installations, and high-power flood systems. Several major USA airport terminals use our fixtures continuously, showing their reliability in demanding environments. Color temperature selection is typically 4000K for warm environments and 5000K for task-oriented areas. Many models offer color adjustability for zone-specific optimization.

Our Best Lighting Options for Airports

• Airport Security & Perimeter Lighting - High-output LED flood lights provide perimeter coverage. Beam angle selection determines coverage patterns from wide flood to narrow spotlights for surveillance zones.
• LED airport hangar lights - High bay fixtures replace metal halide and fluorescent systems with direct one-to-one substitution. Maintenance crews gain consistent, bright illumination for detailed aircraft servicing.
• Airport Apron Lighting - Specialized apron fixtures feature individual aiming. Each light bank adjusts independently to eliminate pilot glare while maintaining ground crew visibility.
• Airport Terminal Lighting - Open concourse areas benefit from LED high bay lights for tall ceilings. Office spaces and corridors perform well with panel fixtures in standard dropped ceiling grids.
• Airport Parking Lot Lighting - Pole mounted LED shoebox lights provide broad, uniform lot coverage. Models directly replace 400W metal halide and 1000W HPS systems.
• Recessed Can Light Upgrades - Metal halide recessed conversion kits operate across many airport installations. Retrofit designs preserve ceiling aesthetics while delivering modern LED performance.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lighting at an Airport?

• High-quality, bright LED light source - Premium chips maintain consistent output across large terminal spaces, delivering 90% lumen retention after 50,000 hours of operation.
• Significant energy savings - Typically reduce utility costs by 50% or more (results vary by facility). Metal halide replacements can save large facilities thousands per month through improved efficiency.
• Maintenance cost elimination - Solid-state LED design removes the need for bulbs, ballasts, and routine service. Installations often operate maintenance-free for over ten years, reducing costly ladder work.
• Adjustable wattage & color - Smart controls allow customized brightness and color temperature (model dependent). Gate areas benefit from 4000K, while baggage zones perform best with 5000K task lighting.
• Enhanced worker & passenger experience - Superior visibility reduces staff eye strain. Travelers enjoy uniformly lit spaces with no glare, improving navigation and comfort.

Technical Specifications and Performance

Airport lighting requires robust performance under continuous operation. Our fixtures typically accept 100V-277V input automatically through integrated drivers (verify on spec sheet). Wattage options range from 75W to 500W, depending on application and model.

Most installations benefit from 0-10V dimming capability, allowing brightness adjustment by time of day or occupancy. We recommend 120-degree beam angles for general terminal lighting and 60-degree beams for focused task areas.

Color rendering stays above 80 CRI on all models, ensuring accurate color perception for security. Operating temperature range is -40F to 122F, handling extreme climates without performance loss.

Voltage Compatibility and Installation

Universal voltage drivers accommodate standard building electrical systems without extra transformers in most cases. Installation connects directly to existing circuits for most retrofits. New construction projects benefit from our design consultation to optimize fixture placement and electrical planning. Most customers choose fixtures with IP65 wet location ratings for outdoor use and standard ratings for interiors. Confirm installation requirements with local authorities and licensed professionals.

Safety and Performance Certifications

All our fixtures carry essential certifications, including DLC Premium for energy efficiency and rebate eligibility, UL Listed for electrical safety, and ETL Listed for product safety compliance. These certifications help ensure safety, performance, and access to utility rebates and tax incentives. DLC Premium certification qualifies for the highest efficiency standards and maximum rebate eligibility.

5-Year Warranty and Warranty Support

All our lights include at least a 5-year warranty, with USA-based warranty support. Our support team understands the importance of keeping your lighting operational and will work to resolve warranty issues promptly.

Professional Airport Lighting Design Support

Our lighting specialists have 15+ years of experience with aviation facilities and provide complimentary custom lighting plans tailored to your airport's needs. We create detailed energy savings calculations showing projected ROI based on your utility rates and operating hours (actual results may vary).

Each plan includes fixture placement, beam angle recommendations, and control strategies to meet safety standards and operational efficiency goals.

Our team has worked with dozens of airport projects nationwide, giving you access to proven expertise to help ensure your lighting upgrade delivers measurable results while maintaining compliance with aviation lighting requirements.
