EMA LED Elevated Runway Guard Light (Wig-Wag)
Reliable Warning for Runway Safety
The EMA Runway Guard Light provides high-intensity alternating yellow flashes to warn pilots and vehicle operators approaching active runways from taxiways. Used in pairs, this wig-wag system delivers clear visual alerts at 45–50 flashes per minute.
LED technology provides 50,000 hours of service life at high intensity, significantly reducing maintenance requirements. The unit resists jet blasts up to 480 km/h.
Black face plates and independent visors around each light source minimize sun reflection for reliable visibility in all conditions.
