DB20 12 Inch Shallow Base for airport lights(12-inch)

Description:

  Lansing 12-inch shallow base is specifically designed to enhance the functionality and stability of 8-inch airport lights. As aviation safety is paramount, our shallow base provides a reliable foundation for lighting systems that guide pilots during takeoff, landing, and taxiing.

  Crafted with precision engineering, this shallow base is made from high-quality materials that ensure durability and longevity, even in the most demanding environments. Its robust construction withstands harsh weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for airports and airfields that require dependable lighting solutions year-round.

  The 12-inch diameter offers a perfect fit for standard 8-inch airport lights, ensuring a seamless integration that enhances the overall aesthetic of your lighting setup. The shallow design not only minimizes the visual footprint but also allows for easy installation and maintenance, saving you time and effort.

  Safety is at the forefront of our design, and it is engineered to provide optimal stability, reducing The risk of tipping or displacement during adverse weather conditions. This feature is crucial for maintaining consistent visibility for pilots, ensuring that they can navigate safely and efficiently.

  In addition to its functional benefits, the 12-nnch shallow base is designed with versatility in mind.It can be used in various applications beyond airports, including parking lots, roadways, and other outdoor spaces that require effective lighting solutions. 

Features& Benefits:

• Forge forming with high quality aluminum alloy;

• Optimized thermal conductivity, increasing the operating life of the inset lights

• Easy connection between base and wiring system provided by 110 mm bottom hole

• Provided with an earth point (M6 mm)

• FAA AC 150 / 5345 – 46 and 42 (current edition) for direct mounting of inset lights

• Designed for use with various types of 8" inset lights

• Feed-thru entry version with watertight sealsƒSecondary plug(s) inside the base for ease of maintenance with feed-thru entry versions

• High precision machining, to ensure overall quality and precision of shallow base;

• Premium metal water joint, good waterproofing;

• Enough large space, to protect internal cable from squashing by light;

• Withstands highest possible mechanical forces and stresses, often far in excess of standard

requirements.

• Optimized thermal dissipation has a positive influence on the lifetime of the components of the fitting mounted on top.

• The depth of the shallow bases is the result of an optimum compromise between the fitting height and the thickness of most pavement constructions.

• Outer retaining ring prevents epoxy flowing into the base. Easy light fixture removal.

• Light weight eases handling in the field.

• Designed for shortest possible installation time.

• For use in wet or dry systems.

Advantages:

There are countless benefits of using shallow bases in airport installations, some of which include:

1. Protection against Water: Deep cleaning and heavy flooding are common in airports. These conditions can easily damage lighting fixtures, but the shallow base would prevent the moisture from getting into the system, safeguarding it against damage.

2. Easy Installation: As earlier mentioned, shallow bases are easy to install, and this saves time and effort. For instance, the aluminum alloy construction and lightweight make it easy for one person to do the installation independently.

3. Enhanced Visibility: The aluminum alloy construction of the shallow base improves the visibility of the lighting. Unlike traditional bases that dull the light, shallow bases enhance it, making it easier for pilots to navigate.

4. Cost-Efficient: Since shallow bases are durable and resistant to wear and tear, they have a longer lifespan, which saves repair and maintenance costs.

5. Safety-enhancing features: The shallow base is designed to enhance the safety of the airport lighting system. The aluminum construction enhances visibility, making the lighting visible from a distance and easier for pilots to navigate their planes.
