GLOW WORM Portable Night Lighting
I would be very interested to hear from anyone using the GLOWORM HLS Portable Night Lighting System or knows of one that perhaps is dead, buried but not quite forgotten at the back of a stores or garage.
The system was sold many moons ago (20 years?) and I believe was made by a company called Research Security Ltd, which was originally based at Fairoaks Aerodrome in Surrey. There was an excellent article in Pilot magazine at the time which really rated the equipment. Unfortunately I don’t think many units were sold and I have been told that the owner, a Mr ‘RW ‘disappeared’ after the company folded back in the 90’s.
My interest is that I have such a system and I can concur that it is a fantastic bit of kit but while out supporting a client last night at a private landing site some *@#*wit drove a golf buggy across the LS and over one of the ‘T’ marker lights, smashing the casing and lens
The pilot picked the lights up 5kms out but numbnuts didn’t see it from 5 metres!!!
Parts are not available so before I pack it in and call it a day I thought I would give the forum a go to see if there are any obsolete GLOWORM bits out there that need a new home.
