The Metal Base Type FAA L‑868 is a key component for airport lighting systems, designed for underground installation and intended to securely anchor in‑pavement luminaires on runways, taxiways, and thresholds.
Its main function is to provide a robust and durable foundation for the luminaires, ensuring precise alignment and mechanical stability, while allowing easy access for maintenance and replacement of electrical components.
Manufactured from high‑strength steel, the base is hot‑dip galvanized for corrosion protection, withstanding prolonged exposure to weather, temperature variations, chemicals, and aircraft traffic. Its design strictly follows FAA L‑868 specifications, ensuring dimensional and functional compatibility with approved equipment.
The structure is prepared to integrate isolation transformers, connectors, and power conduits, offering protection against water ingress and impacts. It is also designed to withstand vertical and lateral loads as required by international standards, ensuring reliability in high‑intensity operations.
Use of the Metal Base Type FAA L‑868 is essential to ensure durability, safety, and performance of runway lighting systems, and is suitable for airports of any size that require in‑pavement lighting in accordance with international standards.
