Operating Principle
The solar module of the light converts sunlight to an electrical current that is used to charge the
battery. The battery provides power to operate the light at night.
The flasher unit has very low current requirements. A microprocessor drives an array of ultra bright
LED’s through a DC/DC converter, which enables the LED’s to operate within the manufacturer’s
specifications. The battery is protected from over-charging within the circuit to ensure maximum
battery life.
On darkness, the microprocessor will initiate a program check and after approximately 1 minute will
turn on.
Technology
Avlite Systems is a world-class solar lighting systems manufacturer with a proven
reputation for rapid, innovative, and agile technology solutions designed specifically
for defense, government, civil and humanitarian aid operations in the most remote,
toughest environments.
Electronics
Avlite employs leading in-house electronic engineers in the design and development of software and
related circuitry. All individual electronic components are sourced directly by Avlite procurement staff

LED Technology
All aviation lights use the latest advancements in LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology as a light
source. The major advantage of LED’s over traditional light sources is well established in that they
typically have an operational life in excess of 100,000 hours, resulting in substantial savings to
maintenance and servicing costs.
