With a couple of UK firsts amongst the developments, including being the first UK airport to have solar powered LED runway guard lighting, the regional airport with the big ideas is set to continue trend setting in 2012.For International Airport Review, Steve Thurston, Head of Planning and Development at Southampton Airport talks about solar powered LED runway guard lights, and the catalytic effect their success has had on the airport’s further development.As the number of aircraft and vehicle movements increased within the aerodrome over the years, regular reviews of signals, signs and markings were undertaken. In Autumn 2009, Steve and his team began researching options for runway guard lights and were keen to explore the latest technology relating to sustainable products.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/7823/international-airport-review-magazine/latest-issue/solar-powered-southampton/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Technology innovation and advance LEDs for airfield lighting</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/7451/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-6-2011/technology-innovation-and-advance-leds-for-airfield-lighting/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/7451/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-6-2011/technology-innovation-and-advance-leds-for-airfield-lighting/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:57:36 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>swills@russellpublishing.com</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 6 2011]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Airfield lighting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jennifer Taylor]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LED lighting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LED Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://www.internationalairportreview.com/?p=7451</guid> <description><![CDATA[In the past two decades, the LED (light-emitting diode) has advanced to the point where it is now considered a key lighting technology, not only for its potential to save energy, reduce carbon emissions, and have a long service life, but also for its ability to be ‘tuned’ for optimal visual perception. For airfield lighting applications, technology performance and perception are equally important. In terms of technology performance, energy savings is a significant feature, but so too are the durability and longevity of the lighting system, which may have to operate under extreme weather conditions. In terms of visual perception, a lighting system’s light output, intensity, spectral distribution, and spatial and temporal beam distributions all affect the system’s salience and a pilot’s ability to perceive the light.Because LED light sources – semiconductors that emit photons – are inherently different from incandescent light sources, their performance and perception do not match those of incandescent lamps. Therefore, before LED lighting can replace incandescent lighting on airfields, two steps must be taken. First, it is crucial to determine whether LED systems can provide equal or greater technology per - formance and visual perception, in order to ensure safety, optimal life-cycle cost savings, and maintenance schedules. This step involves multiple levels of research, both in the laboratory and in the field, and should be conducted for many different types of airfield lighting applications and light source colours. Second, airfield lighting standards must be reviewed and changed as necessary to accommodate LED lighting systems, since existing standards were written with incandescent technology in mind. This step may involve changing fixture design requirements, such as thermal management system components or allowable light source colour boundaries and intensity levels, per research findings. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/7451/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-6-2011/technology-innovation-and-advance-leds-for-airfield-lighting/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The commodity of individual lamp control – moving ILCMS out of the niche</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/7115/airport-news/the-commodity-of-individual-lamp-control-%e2%80%93-moving-ilcms-out-of-the-niche/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/7115/airport-news/the-commodity-of-individual-lamp-control-%e2%80%93-moving-ilcms-out-of-the-niche/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:14:47 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Airport news]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Airfield lighting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Individual control and monitoring systems (ILCMS)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Runway Guard Lights (RGL)]]></category><guid

In just the last decade, the light-emitting diode (LED) has progressed from a small indicator light to a complete lighting system able to illuminate spaces such as an entire parking lot. LEDs promise much to be excited about: less energy consumption, reduced lifetime costs and maintenance, rugged design, “tunability”, and non-toxicity. However, implementing LEDs is not as simple as unscrewing one light bulb and replacing it with another.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/3430/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-5-2010/transforming-airfield-lighting-the-research-into-led-technology/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Is LED airfield lighting right for your airport?</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2571/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/is-led-airfield-lighting-right-for-your-airport/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2571/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/is-led-airfield-lighting-right-for-your-airport/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:45:59 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>swills@russellpublishing.com</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 3 2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Airfield lighting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LED lighting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Raleigh Durham International Airport (RDU)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Steve Pittman]]></category><guid
