Major Benefits
• Safe: CALKIT is a versatile, battery-powered runway lighting system specifically designed for airport or airfield use. It will meet all relevant international standards relating to portable primary, supplementary, emergency or obstruction lighting and is suitable for use with both fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
• Easy to use: CALKIT’s roadworthy trailer ensures that the system can be rapidly deployed in emergency situations, provides safe storage and easy charging of light units when not in operation and is easily transported when intended for use at more than one location.
• Reliable: CALKIT offers true 365 days a year capability. When used at maximum intensity, edge lights and approach lights provide up to 16 hours light output (up to 80 hours for LED) before charging is necessary. Recharge is then achieved in only 8 hours, ensuring operational readiness on consecutive nights.
• World Leader: CALKIT is designed and manufactured by Metalite Aviation Lighting, a company that has been at the forefront of portable airfield lighting design for almost 40 years and is now recognized as the world’s leading supplier of trailer mounted systems to both civil and military customers.
