Tektite Industries, maker of lighting products for remote runways and landing zones, announced a new remote-control option for its product line. The company said the latest addition to both its Remote Landing Strip Light and ELZ Light Kits provides greater safety and functionality when landing in underdeveloped areas at the push of a button.

Tektite’s remote landing strip lights are available in 40- and 10-light kits. The Remote Landing Strip Light Kit contains 40 clear-lens lights along with the remote control in a wheeled, rugged carrying case. The Remote Landing Strip Light Kit Jr. contains 10 lights. The Remote ELZ Kit and Helicopter LZ Light Kits come with a remote control and lights that feature red and blue lenses.

All of the above kits are available in infrared (IR) versions to approved government agencies.

The battery life of the remote products is about a week on standby and 25 hours of operation or two weeks on standby and 12 hours of operational use.

Tektite’s lights are waterproof and use a 14-LED array powered by three C-cell alkaline batteries. The lights’ spring-loaded, vinyl-coated lead base allows them to remain erect in high winds and propeller wash but fold up for easy storage.
