TRENTON, N.J. – (July 8, 2010) - Tektite Industries, Inc. provides pilots with even greater safety, functionality and ease of use when landing at underdeveloped runways with their now remote-controlled Remote Landing Strip Light and ELZ Light Kits.

Useful for runways, drop zones, helipads and more, the Remote Landing Strip Light Kits allows turning on all applicable lights at the push of a button. This upgraded ability allows expeditionary, improvised or temporary landing zones of any size to provide better landing circumstances for pilots.

The remote control feature is the latest development in Tektite’s ELZTM (NSN 6230-01-524-9261 Standard/NSN 6230-01-532-0285 Infrared), and Landing Strip Light Kits, which are already in use worldwide by numerous agencies.

The Remote Landing Strip Light Kit Jr. contains 10 lights that feature clear lenses, a 900’ strip along with a remote control in a rugged carrying case. The Remote ELZ Kit and Helicopter LZ Light Kits come with a remote control and lights that feature red and blue lenses.
