Abstract:

The Federal Aviation Administration Airport Safety Technology Research and Development Subteam initiated a long-term study of light-emitting diode (LED) taxiway edge lights. The purpose of this study was to determine and evaluate the photometric performance, durability, and reliability of LED taxiway edge light fixtures. LED taxiway edge lights degrade in intensity over time reducing the visibility to pilots. When this occurs, the LED light must be replaced. However, the exact time to replace the fixture to obtain the highest cost effectiveness is unknown.
