Taxiway Centerline Light (Type I, 8-inch)

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.
