Abstract:
An integrated approach lighting system, comprising:an illuminator;threshold lights, said threshold lights including:a first luminaire optically connected to said illuminator, said first luminaire emitting a first vertically orientated distribution of light; anda second luminaire optically connected to said illuminator, said second luminaire emitting a second vertically orientated distribution of light,said first vertically orientated distribution of light and said second vertically orientated distribution of light (i) being horizontally angularly displaced with respect to each other and (ii) overlapping so as to define a first vertically orientated envelope in which each distribution of light is mutually and distinctly visible;approach lights, said approach lights including:a third luminaire optically connected to said illuminator, said third luminaire emitting a first horizontally orientated distribution of light;a fourth luminaire optically connected to said illuminator, said fourth luminaire emitting a second horizontally orientated distribution of light;said first horizontally orientated distribution of light and said second horizontally orientated distribution of light (i) being vertically angularly displaced with respect to each other and (ii) overlapping to define a first horizontally orientated envelope in which each distribution of light is mutually and distinctly visible; anda fifth luminaire optically connected to said illuminator, said fifth luminaire emitting a circular distribution of light.
