AXON - Creating a greener future for airfields starts with smarter technology

The AXON High Intensity Elevated light is designed with modularity in mind. It allows airports to reduce waste and future-proof their infrastructure by enabling easy upgrades and extending the lifespan of their lighting systems. With power savings of up to 80% compared to traditional halogen lights, AXON contributes significantly to energy reduction efforts.


Sustainability Built into Every AXON Solution
ADB SAFEGATE’s AXON airfield lighting suite combines sustainable design with operational excellence, offering modular, energy-efficient solutions to meet the varied needs of airports. The AXON High Intensity Elevated sustainable features include:

  • Best-in-Class Energy Efficiency: AXON lights achieve up to 80% energy savings over halogen lighting and 30% savings compared to traditional LED lights.
  • Interchangeable LED Modules: Designed for long-term use, these modules support easy upgrades, minimizing waste and extending the life of lighting systems.
  • Smart Arctic Kit: A robust optional feature that ensures high performance in extreme environments where airports may experience snow and ice.
  • Integrated Intelligent Infrared: Infrared output wavelength, providing compatibility with NVG and EFVS systems, enhancing visibility under challenging conditions or supporting covert operation.

“Sustainability isn’t a standalone goal for us; it’s embedded in every feature we design,” says Regardt Willer, CMO and VP Business Development and Innovation. “With products like AXON Elevated lights, we’re empowering airports to make meaningful energy reductions while optimizing daily operations.”

A New Standard in Airfield Lighting
“As climate change continues to reshape the way airports plan for the future, the need for sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure has never been greater.” says Paul Hart, Director Product Management – Lights & Power. “This is particularly true for airports in vulnerable regions, such as those near coastlines, where environmental impacts are already being felt. The AXON Elevated lights provide airports with a robust and resilient solution to withstand environmental risks, while actively contributing towards long-term sustainability goals.”

Sustainovation: Sustainability Meets Innovation
The AXON Elevated embodies ADB SAFEGATE’s philosophy of sustainovation: integrating sustainability into every stage of product development. With features like recyclable materials and circular economy principles, AXON minimises environmental impact from manufacturing through to end-of-life.
