Abstract
An airfield lighting system includes an approach lighting subsystem and a runway lighting subsystem. A power supply/controller is configured to provide electrical power to the approach lighting subsystem and the runway lighting subsystem. The power supply/controller is further configured to control operation of the approach lighting subsystem and the runway lighting subsystem. A set of electrical wiring connects the approach lighting subsystem and the runway lighting subsystem to the power supply/controller. The power supply/controller communicates with the approach lighting subsystem and the runway lighting subsystem through the electrical wiring.
Claims21
An airfield lighting system, comprising:
- an approach lighting subsystem;
- a runway lighting subsystem;
- a power supply/controller configured to provide electrical power to the approach lighting subsystem and the runway lighting subsystem, the power supply/controller being further configured to control operation of the approach lighting subsystem and the runway lighting subsystem;
- and
- a set of electrical wiring connecting the approach lighting subsystem and the runway lighting subsystem to the power supply/controller,
- wherein the power supply/controller communicates with the approach lighting subsystem and the runway lighting subsystem through the electrical wiring.
17-20. (canceled)
A lighting subsystem, comprising:
- a plurality of portable light fixtures configured for elevation adjustment, each light fixture including at least one light emitting element configured to emit visible and/or infrared (IR) light in one or more operational modes;
- a controller configured to control the one or more operational modes and a light intensity of the at least one light emitting element of each light fixture;
- and
- a power supply configured to provide electrical power to each light fixture.
A lighting subsystem, comprising:
- a plurality of portable light fixtures configured to be run over by a vehicle, each light fixture including at least one light emitting element configured to emit visible and/or infrared (IR) light in one or more operational modes;
- a controller configured to control the one or more operational modes and a light intensity of the at least one light emitting element of each light fixture;
- and
- a power supply configured to provide electrical power to each individual light fixture.
