FAQ - 1200 SERIES RELMS

WILL THE 1200 SERIES REFLECTIVE EDGE LIGHT MARKER / SNOW PLOW MARKER FIT ON MY EXISTING LIGHT?

The 1200 series RELM is designed to fit most edge lights made by most manufacturers.  There are three different attachment methods to ensure the RELM will fit on your particular light.  See graphic bottom right. 

 

HOW LONG WITH THE SERIES 1200 RELM SLEEVE LAST?

The lifetime of the sleeve is directly proportional to the climate it is used.  The sleeves are resistant to cold and to UV and can be expected to last 3-5 years in most climates.  The sleeves can be quickly, easily and inexpensively replaced without removing the assembly from the edge light.

WHY IS THE 1200 SERIES RELM AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT LENGTHS?

Some areas that regularly get higher amounts of snow prefer to have a longer 36” RELM versus the standard 24”. However some airfields have special snow removal equipment and prefer to have a shorter 18” RELM to avoid obstruction.

 

DO I NEED TO REMOVE THE LIGHT IN ORDER TO ATTACH THE RELM?

No, the light fixture stays in place. With the flat bracket you would remove an existing base plate bolt and re-install incorporating the flat bracket.  With the bent bracket you would only remove an existing set screw from the light and re-install incorporating the bent RELM bracket.
