The Future of Airfield Ground Lighting: LED AGL
It has been nearly 15 years since LED technology found its application in airfield ground lighting (AGL). Today, nearly all types of AGL leverage the benefits of LED technology – its energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, improved safety and lower environmental impact and in the long run, its cost efficiency.
While traditional tungsten-halogen based lighting is prevalent at many airports, leading airports across the world are making the switch to LED. In fact, civil aviation authorities in countries like the United Kingdom and Australia are approving the use of LED AGL with a view to help airports make a more sustainable choice. Cognizant of the changing landscape, regulatory bodies such as the ICAO and FAA are also working with industry stakeholders to assess LED AGL performance and conformance.
As the use of LED technology for AGL gains momentum, a growing number of airports will look to make the switch after considering LED’s benefits and evaluating the experiences of other airports. ADB Group brand Airfield Solutions is a pioneer of LED-based AGL. It leads the market with 800,000-plus LED AGL installed globally and continues to drive innovation in adapting LED for airfield lighting applications. Together with the other Group brands, Lucebit and ERNI, ADB offers one of the most comprehensive LED lighting portfolios in the industry.
Leading the way to more cost effective, efficient and environment-friendly airfields – is a whitepaper from the ADB Group, which captures the journey of LED AGL over the years, and provides useful insights for airports interested in learning more about the technology. Moreover, it features two real-life examples– Manchester Airport, UK and Xi’an Xianyang International Airport, China – of how LED AGL is transforming airfields.
