Signal optics glasses

Why use signal optics glasses? Product range

Regulations have become more stringent for safety and unambiguous recognition of air traffic signals on airfields. In line with these new requirements, signal optics glasses for air traffic by SCHOTT offer you the following benefits: The signal colors comply with national or international standards The light distribution complies with standards over the spatial angle ranges Other optical components located inside the signal source are protected A large variety of optics is available to achieve the different lighting requirements Cost savings through the use of the SCHOTT modular surface-mounted beacon system: Compact design Small diameter Light weight Smooth external surface Small attack area for soiling Easy to clean Can be used with lower lamp outputs to save energy One fitting can be used for several applications Storage costs can be reduced Meeting specifications Easy to install optical components Competence in the measurement mimicry/colorimetry fields Verification of compliance with standards in the laboratory using: Calibrated colorimeters that use the three range method to check colors Chemical resistance testing equipment complies with standards Goniophotometers for fully automated luminous intensity measurements on original signal sources Air circulation ovens/water sprinklers for thermal shock resistance Lighting output calculations for optical components
