About this file
This memorandum documents salient characteristics for solar powered airfield taxiway lighting for the US Army Installation Management Command at Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras. The solar-powered LED light system features blue 863 color lights with 360-degree horizontal output, 5-step intensity adjustments, and over 100,000 hours of LED life expectancy. Key technical specifications include monocrystalline solar modules with 21% efficiency, high-grade nickel metal hydride batteries, radio control via 2.4GHz frequency with up to 1.4km range, and compliance with FAA and ICAO standards. The physical design includes an FAA yellow body, 140mm lens diameter, single-LED optic, and a frangible mounting system with 7-stage powder-coated aluminum components. The lighting system is designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions, including temperatures from -40 to 55°C, wind speeds up to 160 kph, and 0-100% humidity, with an expected service life of up to 12 years.
