Abstract

The disclosure relates to a lighting apparatus of a helicopter deck, which is meant especially while being installed in connection with an identification marking, such as an H, triangle, cross figure or the like, and/or a touchdown and positioning mark ring on a landing and takeoff area of the helicopter deck for illuminating the safety marking/markings in question in order to make more efficient observing thereof from the air. The lighting apparatus includes of light units formed of one or more lamps and being operable by power supply transmitted from a power source in connection with the helicopter deck, wherein the light units are coupled essentially immovably in connection with an upper surface of the helicopter deck. Light units of the lighting apparatus are coupled in connection with the upper surface of the helicopter deck by means of a horizontal fastening arrangement in order to keep the light units in place by means of fastening means, being in connection therewith in a manner transmitting power essentially in a direction parallel with a plane of the helicopter deck.

Abstract

The invention relates to a lighting apparatus of a helicopter deck, which is meant especially while being installed in connection with an identification marking (1), such as an H, triangle, cross figure or the like, and/or a touchdown and positioning mark ring (2) on a landing and takeoff area of the helicopter deck for illuminating the safety marking/markings in question in order to make more efficient observing thereof from the air. The lighting apparatus (3) consists of light units (3a) formed of one or more lamps (3a') and being operable by power supply transmitted from a power source in connection with the helicopter deck, wherein the light units are coupled essentially immovably in connection with an upper surface of the helicopter deck (X). Light units (3a) of the lighting apparatus (3) are coupled in connection with the upper surface of the helicopter deck (X) by means of a horizontal fastening arrangement (4) in order to keep the light units in place by means of fastening means (4a), being in connection therewith in a manner transmitting power essentially in a direction parallel with a plane of the helicopter deck.
