An airfield taxiway light, comprising:
- a plurality of light sources;
- a plurality of prisms through which light emitted by the plurality of light sources is configured to pass, wherein the light emitted by each respective light source passes through a different one of the plurality of prisms;
- a light direction turning film between at least one of the plurality of light sources and the prism through which the light emitted by that light source passes, wherein the light emitted by that light source is turned left or right by the light direction turning film prior to the light passing through the prism;
- and
- a cover having a plurality of openings through which the light that passes through the plurality of prisms is configured to exit the airfield taxiway light, wherein each respective opening is positioned over a different one of the plurality of prisms.
An airfield taxiway light, comprising:

- a plurality of prisms through which light emitted by the plurality of light sources is configured to pass, wherein the light emitted by each respective light source passes through a different one of the plurality of prisms;
- a light direction turning film between each respective light source and the prism through which the light emitted by that light source passes, wherein the light emitted by each respective light source is turned left or right by the light direction turning film prior to the light passing through the prism;
- and
- a cover having a plurality of openings through which the light that passes through the plurality of prisms is configured to exit the airfield taxiway light, wherein each respective opening is positioned over a different one of the plurality of prisms.
An airfield taxiway light, comprising:
- three light sources;
- three prisms through which light emitted by the three light sources is configured to pass, wherein the light emitted by each respective light source passes through a different one of the three prisms;
- a light direction turning film between two of the three light sources and the prism through which the light emitted by that light source passes, wherein the light emitted by each of the two light sources is turned left or right by the light direction turning film prior to the light passing through the prism;
- and
- a cover having three openings through which the light that passes through the three prisms is configured to exit the airfield taxiway light, wherein each respective opening is positioned over a different one of the three prisms.
