Tektite Landing Strip Light Kit solves long-time issue for underdeveloped runways

    TRENTON, N.J. – (June 21, 2010) - Tektite Industries, Inc. continues to push the envelope of landing light solution innovations by releasing their highly anticipated Landing Strip Light Kits.

A further development of Tektite’s ELZTM Kits (NSN 6230-01-524-9261 Standard/NSN 6230-01-532-0285 Infrared), which are already in use worldwide by numerous agencies, the Landing Strip Light Kit offers a 40-light and 10-light solution kit that can be customized with additional lights for use in expeditionary, improvised or temporary airfields of any size.

The Landing Strip Light Kit includes 40 Landing Strip/Runways Lights, which is enough to illuminate a 4,000’ runway if placed at typical intervals (maximum 200’ apart). The lights come packed in a rugged, wheeled, carrying case that provides ease for both storage and set-up. As few as two people can perform set-up of the kit in a few minutes.

Tektite’s other offering for smaller runways are the Landing Strip Light Kit Jr., which comes with 10 Landing Strip/Runway Lights packed in a durable carrying case. The 10 lights included in the Light Kit Jr. are enough to light up a 900’ runway if placed at typical intervals (maximum 200’ apart).

Available in the both visible and infrared light spectrum, these waterproof lights emit a powerful 43.4 Lumen white light generated from a 14-LED array. With three C-cell Alkaline batteries, it provides burn times of over 20 hours with a 10,000+ hour bulb life. Constructed out of ABS with a LEXAN® lens, these lights can stand up in high winds and propeller wash with their spring-loaded, vinyl-coated lead base, which also allows the light to fold up for easy storage.
