Airfield Lighting

Taxiway centerline lights serve the taxiway centerline lighting system. They 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 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 edge lights mark the boundary of a taxiway, apron or holding bay. They are set along the edge of the area concerned and give omnidirectional blue light. A clear boundary outline helps pilots identify the usable taxiing area, keeps aircraft from running off the pavement, and gives continuous guidance for ground operations. 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.

Stop bar and no-entry bar lights serve the taxiway stop bar system. They are set in a row across the holding position to give aircraft an explicit stop signal. The red light works together with ground control procedures to tell aircraft not to cross the stop line, and helps keep traffic in order at runway entrances and intersections. 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.

Intermediate holding position lights are used at intermediate holding positions on a taxiway, normally as a transverse row of lights marking the limit at which aircraft are to hold. The lights give pilots a conspicuous reference for where to stop or hold, support ground control, and reduce operational conflicts where taxi routes cross. 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 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 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 intersection lights mark taxiway intersections and other junctions that call for particular attention, giving aircraft a reference for lateral position and for a change of route. Working with taxiway centerline and taxiway edge lights, the fixture helps pilots identify the intersection area in advance and taxi safely along the assigned route. The fixture uses an LED light source and a light distribution designed for the intended application; its photometric performance is aimed at the requirements of the corresponding airfield lighting system, so it gives airport operations a steady, clear and easily recognized 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.

Runway edge lights mark the boundaries on both sides of the runway; set continuously along the runway edges, they give aircraft runway outline guidance during takeoff, landing and the roll along the runway. The lights help pilots identify the width, direction and usable extent of the runway at night and in low visibility, and keep the aircraft operating safely within the runway. 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.

Runway threshold lights mark the position of the runway threshold; set along the threshold line, they show a clear green light signal in the direction of approach. They help pilots identify exactly where the runway available for landing begins, and together with the approach lights, the runway edge lights and others they make up the complete visual marking of the runway threshold. 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.

Runway threshold wing-bar lights are used in the runway threshold wing-bar system, set at both ends of the runway threshold lights and extending outward to widen the lateral visual extent of the threshold. At night and in low visibility the lights bring out the position and the width of the runway threshold, so pilots establish a threshold reference quickly. 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.

Runway end lights mark the end of the usable runway; set along the runway end line, they show a red light signal toward the runway. They give aircraft taking off, landing or rolling along the runway a definite indication of where the runway stops, helping pilots judge how much usable runway is left. 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.

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 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 cylindrical retro-reflective marker that bounces an aircraft's own lights back to outline taxiway, runway or apron edges. Its imported diamond-grade film gives more than 15,000 mm² of effective reflecting area at a height of 350 mm, so a passing beam picks it out by day or night. Nothing needs powering and no cable is buried, so a boundary can be moved with expansion bolts alone. The PVC body gives way on impact rather than damaging an aircraft.

Stop bar and no-entry bar lights (Type I) serve the taxiway stop bar system. They are set in a row across the holding position to give aircraft an explicit stop signal.
