EQUIPMENT FOR RUNWAY LIGHTING SYSTEMS
13-10.1
High Intensity Runway Edge Lighting Equipment
See paragraph 4-2.
13-10.1.1
Elevated Fixtures
Use light fixtures meeting FAA AC 150/5345-46, Type L-862. (See Figure 13-10.)
Colored filters, where required for displaced threshold areas, must meet the
requirements of the specification and be compatible with the fixture. Use lamps
recommended by the manufacturer. Different manufacturers may meet the requirement
using different lamps. In the interest of energy conservation, lower wattage lamps are
preferred.
13-10.1.2
In-pavement Fixtures
Use fixtures meeting FAA AC 150/5345-46, Type L-850C. (See Figure 13-11.) Use
lamps recommended by the manufacturer. Different manufacturers may meet the
requirement using different lamps. In the interest of energy conservation, lower wattage
lamps are preferred.
13-10.2
Medium Intensity Runway Edge Lights
See paragraph 4-3.
13-10.2.1
Elevated Fixtures
Use fixtures meeting FAA AC 150/5345-46, Type L-861. (See Figure 13-12.) In
displaced threshold areas, provide colored filters meeting the specification and
compatible with the fixture.
13-10.2.2
In-pavement Fixtures
Use bi-directional fixtures meeting FAA AC 150/5345-46, Type L-852B without filters.
(See Figure 13-13.) Use lamps recommended by the manufacturer. Different
manufacturers may meet the requirement using different lamps. In the interest of energy
conservation, lower wattage lamps are preferred.
13-10.3
High Intensity Threshold Lighting
See paragraph 4-4.
13-10.3.1
In-pavement Fixtures, Uni-directional, Green or Red
Use light fixtures meeting FAA AC 150/5345-46, Type L-850E. (See Figure 13-3.) FAA
Type L-850D do not meet the threshold light photometric requirements so are not
acceptable. (See Figure 4-5.)
13-10.3.2
Medium Intensity Threshold and End Lights
Use fixtures meeting FAA AC 150/5345-46, Type L-852D, with red and green filters
where bi-directional runway end/threshold fixtures are required. If uni-directional light is
required use a blank on the side not needed. (See Figure 13-13.)
