RAF Odiham is a Royal Air Force station situated a little to the south of the village of Odiham in Hampshire, England. It is the home of the Royal Air Force’s heavy-lift helicopter, the Chinook. The RAF has been on the site since 1925 and it was upgraded to a permanent airfield in 1937.
A total of 156 new ALS DTS approach lights were installed for the runway upgrade to LED. These are powered by 16 new MCR405 CCR controllers to provide the 6.6A output required. This was topped off with over 50Km of new cabling to provide a long-term framework solution for the airbase.
