Airfield Lighting

Runway threshold/end lights are used where the runway threshold and the runway end coincide or have to be shown together; different light distributions in the two directions let one fixture perform both the threshold and the end marking functions. The fixture marks the runway threshold toward the approach direction and the runway end toward the runway, which cuts the number of units needed where the two are co-located while keeping the lights clearly identifiable. The fixture uses a matched light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

Rapid exit taxiway indicator lights are used in the rapid exit taxiway indicator system, set at prescribed distances along one side of the runway centerline to give a landing aircraft advance notice that it is approaching a rapid exit taxiway.

The fixture uses an LED light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

Taxiway centerline lights (Type I) serve the taxiway centerline lighting system. The lights are laid continuously along the taxiway centerline and around curves to give aircraft directional guidance while taxiing on the ground. The lights help pilots pick out the taxi route, its curves and its exits at night and in low visibility, keeping the aircraft on the assigned path. The fixture uses a matched light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

The fixture uses a matched light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

The Configuration A high-intensity runway guard light is used where a taxiway crosses a runway or at the runway-holding position; its alternately flashing yellow light warns aircraft and vehicles that they are about to enter an active runway. The conspicuous warning signal makes the runway entrance easier to recognize in difficult weather, at night and in low visibility, and lowers the risk of a runway incursion. The fixture uses a matched light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

Taxiway intersection lights mark taxiway intersections or other junctions that call for particular attention, giving aircraft a reference for lateral position and for a change of route. The fixtures work with taxiway centerline and edge lights, helping pilots recognize the intersection in advance and taxi the assigned route safely. The fixture uses an LED light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

Aircraft stand manoeuvring guidance lights are used in the aircraft stand manoeuvring area, giving conspicuous boundary or directional guidance for aircraft entering the stand, for pushback and for ground handling work. The lights help pilots and ground crew make out the limits of the stand manoeuvring area and its key positions, improving what crews can see on the apron at night and in low visibility. The fixture uses an LED light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

An elevated internally lit stand identification sign with a triangular black-on-yellow face, standing ahead of the stand for the crew to check the number. Its 1200×2000 face is lit by 26 light bars from a single driver at 130 VA, which keeps the wiring simple and leaves one driver type to stock; servicing goes in through the rear door, so the front panel seal is never disturbed. The 4.5 mm UV-shielded polycarbonate panel neither yellows nor cracks under sun and grit.

The final approach and take-off area (FATO) light marks the boundary or key positions of the FATO of a heliport, outlining the area for helicopters on approach, on take-off and while hovering. A continuous, clear line of lights helps pilots make out the extent, the direction and the usable part of the FATO at night and in low visibility. The fixture uses an LED light source and a light distribution designed for the application; its photometric performance is aligned with the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, giving airport operations a steady, clear and easily identified visual signal.

The aiming point light marks the position of the heliport aiming point, giving a helicopter on approach a clear visual target and alignment reference.
