Q-AviationQ for Quality
Even light. No black holes.
Helipad flood lights illuminate the landing surface so the pilot can judge height, speed and position in the final metres of a night landing. Q-Aviation manufactures high quality helipad flood lights for ground-level helipads, rooftop heliports and offshore helidecks — in standard, frangible and explosion proof versions.
Good floodlighting gives even light across the touchdown area — without glare that blinds the pilot and without dark patches.
Our floodlights use 5,000 cd LED modules (5700 K) in powder-coated aluminium housings with borosilicate glass: durable, low maintenance and no lamps to replace. The Q-Floodlight is designed for CAP 437 helidecks, the Q-Frangible Floodlight for onshore helipads, and the explosion proof floodlight for hazardous areas.
Designed & tested to
As a helipad flood light manufacturer, Q-Aviation controls the whole chain in its own factory in Middelburg, the Netherlands: optical and electrical design, production, and testing of every unit for photometry, ingress protection and electrical safety.
That also means flexibility: 100–240 VAC or 24 VDC input, rigid or frangible mounting, safe area or ATEX/IECEx certified explosion proof — matched to your helipad.
Every helipad flood light supply comes with the documents you need for approval and installation: datasheet, drawings, manual, ICAO certificate and DWG 3D files — request them on each product page. We ship worldwide (1000+ projects in 35+ countries) and an engineer answers technical questions within one working day.
On a ground-level helipad the floodlights stand at the edge of the landing area and are aimed across the surface. Frangible mounting makes a fixture break away on impact instead of damaging a helicopter. The Q-Frangible Floodlight mounts on four M8 bolts, is quick to align and is available for 24 VDC sites. Combine it with perimeter lights and a lit wind direction indicator for a complete helipad lighting system, or see our helideck lighting systems for offshore decks.

To light the touchdown and lift-off area evenly, so the pilot sees the surface texture and markings and can judge height and drift during landing and take-off at night.
It depends on the site. Floodlighting is used where perimeter lights and the surroundings don't give the pilot enough cues about the surface — typical for helipads in dark surroundings or with markings that must be visible at night. The operator and the national authority decide; we advise on the layout.
There is no fixed number: it follows from the size of the landing area, the available mounting positions and the evenness of light required, while keeping glare away from the pilot. Send us the dimensions or D-value and we calculate the number and positions.
Perimeter lights are green point sources that outline the edge of the landing area; flood lights are white and illuminate the surface itself. Most night-capable helipads use perimeter lights, with floodlights added where the surface needs lighting.
The location (onshore or offshore), the type of helipad (ground level, rooftop or helideck), its dimensions or D-value, the available power (AC or DC), any hazardous zone classification and the standard you work to (ICAO, CAP 437, FAA). Drawings help — attach them in the quote form.
