As the most widely deployed solar windsock in the industry the Solar Series Permanent Surface Helipad S248 LED Wind Cone (Windsock) is rugged, reliable and proven. It features NVG compatible LEDs, a patented swivel, all aluminum construction, and a convenient counter weighted tilt mechanism. The Solar Series LED windsock allows easy installation, quick fabric replacement and maintenance free operation. From the most rugged conditions of the frozen Antarctic to the deserts in the Middle East and Africa to the tropical Caribbean, the Solar Series LED windsocks provide reliable service in any environment. All Solar Series LED Wind socks mount on a single concrete platform compared to alternative products that require one platform for the tower, one for the power system, and conduit between each pad.
Equipped with a 100 watt solar panel, 100 AHr battery and optional frangible mounting system, the Solar Series LED windsock continues to perform flawlessly on all 6 major continents for international defence forces, international airports, resource industries humanitarian aid organizations and oil & gas facilities. Each solar wind cone can be custom designed for various heights and can be used for portable applications if required.
