IN-RC 8 elevated edge light
An LED edge light for 6.6 A series circuits that draws a third of the power of halogen and keeps its photometry for more than 100,000 hours.

ICAO Annex 14FAA L-862EASA CS-ADR
Typical lead time 6 to 8 weeks. Factory acceptance tests can be witnessed in Fambach.
Overview
Designed for new builds and drop-in replacement of halogen fittings on the same base.
The IN-RC 8 replaces halogen edge lights one for one. It fits existing 8 inch bases and isolating transformers, and its constant-current driver follows all five brightness steps of the regulator without flicker.
The optical head is sealed and nitrogen purged, so condensation never clouds the prism. A frangible coupling breaks cleanly at 1,500 Nm if an aircraft leaves the runway.
One third of the power
12 W instead of 45 W halogen, at the same intensity.
100,000 hour LEDs
Photometry stays inside the ICAO limits for over a decade.
Five-step dimming
Follows regulator steps B1 to B5 without flicker.
Frangible by design
Breaks cleanly at 1,500 Nm to protect aircraft.

On the airfield
The IN-RC 8 lines both edges of the runway every 60 m between the thresholds, on the same 6.6 A circuit as the threshold and runway end lights.
