Solar high intensity runway edge light DWS801H, side view with bidirectional optical heads

Solar High Intensity Runway Edge Light

The solar airport light DWS801H is specially designed as a high intensity runway edge light (HIRL) for Precision Instrument Runways (CAT I, II, III). The HIRL runway light complies with ICAO Annex 14 Volume I and meets traditional airport requirements in a low-cost, easy-to-install and low-maintenance way. Being solar self-contained and durable with bidirectional optics, it is well suited to Aeronautical Ground Lighting systems with no electricity or cabling.

The HIRL runway light has been photometrically tested by Intertek, and is ISO 9001 and CE certified.

Application Cases

These HIRL solar runway lights and runway threshold/end lights DWS801H have been successfully installed at international airports and large general aviation airfields.

For instance, the solar airfield lighting system at Bayelsa International Airport has operated well since its installation in May 2024, and it successfully passed the flight calibration conducted by NAMA (Nigerian Airspace Management Agency) on February 19, 2026.
