5.1.1 Winter Operations: Snow Plowing Guidelines for inset Lights Introduction Most ADB Safegate light fixtures are low protrusion height and the risk to damage the light is less than with fixtures that protrude higher above ground. Reinforced prisms are optional available for certain fixtures, further increasing the scratch resistance for enhanced lifetime.
AXON Runway Inset Lights Maintenance To protect in-pavement lights from damage during the snow removal it is important that the snowplows are equipped with plastic cutting edges. • The plastic cutting edge should be made of polyurethane, rubber or material of similar consistence and characteristics.
AXON Runway Inset Lights Maintenance High snowplow speeds can damage the light outlets and prisms could eventually break. The allowable speed should be determined before start of operation, based on the configuration of the equipment. • A speed of greater 40 km per hour is not advised.
