Airfield Lighting - Part 1

[sailormoon_01_uk]

I wonder why in the USA Globally they sell Low/Medium Intensity Airport Lights with Incandescent Lamps where in the UK they are High Intensity Lights, also what is interesting on Small Airports they seem to mount the Lights on poles almost 3 feet high, which could be damaged by Aircraft Strike, anyway I have bought one off the US E-bay and it came with the Long Pole



This Light has a Dual Red Clear Lens the Red Side is to warn Pilots that they are approaching the End of the Runway the Clear is used as a standard Runway light for the Opposite Direction, as you can see it is mounted on one log pole
