- High-efficiency LED lights are visible from miles away, day or night
- User-friendly setup allows full deployment by one person in under five minutes
- Rugged steel trailer and equipment bay protect components from weather and unauthorized access
- 120 hours of continuous operation on a single fuel tank reduces maintenance frequency
Specifications
- Design: Fully enclosed steel equipment bay with all-welded structural steel trailer; arms finished in aviation yellow for maximum visibility; nine high-efficiency LED fixtures arranged in an "X" configuration on four independent arms and mast.

How it works
The marker unfolds into a large “X” shape elevated atop a telescoping mast. High-intensity LEDs flash automatically when activated, providing unmistakable visual signals across long distances that the runway is not open for landing or takeoff. Setup requires only one operator using simple mechanical controls.
