An airfield in the United Arab Emirates, is set to power its lighting with photovoltaic solar panels. The airstrip is set to boost its visibility and help guide planes to landing with a solar powered light emitting diode (LED) system.
LEDs consume less energy than standard lighting and so can make efficient use of the electricity produced by microgeneration.Claiming that the lights for a temporary airstrip can be laid down in less than an hour.
This is a possibility because the firm has done away with the need for cables by making the whole system wireless and the systems use of microgeneration frees it from having to connect to the grid.
