Essential Heliport Lighting: White Perimeter Lights and Green Inset Lights

           Heliports are critical infrastructure for both civil and emergency aviation operations. To ensure safe takeoffs, landings, and ground movement—especially during nighttime or low-visibility conditions—proper lighting systems are essential. Two of the most important lighting components for heliports are White Perimeter Lights and Green Inset Lights.

✅ What Are Heliport White Perimeter Lights?

White perimeter lights are installed around the boundary of the heliport touchdown and lift-off area (TLOF) or final approach and takeoff area (FATO). These lights clearly define the heliport’s landing zone, especially in darkness or bad weather.

Key Features:

• High-intensity white LED for excellent visibility

• Durable, weather-resistant construction

• Compliant with ICAO Annex 14 Volume II and FAA AC 150/5390-2B standards

• Low power consumption with long lifespan

• Surface-mounted or stake-mounted options

✅ What Are Heliport Green Inset Lights?

Green inset lights are flush-mounted lights installed within the heliport surface, usually at the TLOF perimeter. They are designed to show the pilot the exact landing spot with enhanced precision.

Key Features:

• High-efficiency green LED illumination

• Inset design prevents damage from rotor wash or vehicle traffic

• Waterproof and corrosion-resistant

• Ideal for hard-surfaced heliports like concrete or asphalt

• ICAO and FAA compliant

💡 Why Are These Lights Important?

Aviation safety depends on precise and reliable ground lighting. White perimeter lights provide visual guidance from a distance, helping pilots identify the safe landing area. Green inset lights guide the final touchdown, especially useful in low-light conditions or on rooftop heliports.

🔧 Easy Installation and Maintenance

Modern heliport lights are designed for quick installation and minimal maintenance. With LED technology, operational costs are greatly reduced due to low energy usage and extended service life.
