OFFSHORE HELIDECK LIGHTING Marine Vessels

Point Lighting Corporation is an FAA certified airfield lighting manufacturer that seeks to attain all relevant product certifications to international standards for heliport and helideck lighting systems. We use third party certification bodies such as Intertek and Sira where defined test standards exist such as FAA, UL Standards, CSA and ATEX. We strive to demonstrate compliance where standards are published without a test regime such as ICAO Annex 14 and CAP 437.

Point Lighting recognizes the extreme conditions endured in the offshore industry. Our products do not use external plastic components; everything is treated metal and glass in forms that draw upon our long experience with methods for resistance to corrosion and water ingress as required by US Military and FAA test programs. All cast metal parts are treated for marine conditions by cleaning per US MIL method III of TT-C-490, chromate priming per US MIL-C-5541, epoxy powder base coat and glossy polyester powdercoat finish coat in color RAL 6003 (FED-STD-595 color #14097) green and oven cured per US MIL-PRF-24712A. This has passed the highest level of salt fog tests.

Lighted Wind Cones

For offshore sites, the PWC-8061L wind cone is commonly used because it is lightweight and about 10-ft tall. It is available with Point Lighting safety options including a stainless steel tether. The light source may be LED or incandescent.

The wind cone should be sited away from obstructions that may interfere with the actual prevailing wind pattern.
