Airport aprons, i.e. those areas at the gates where aeroplanes
are parked, pose especially high demands for a lighting installation.
It is of vital importance that pilots are not exposed to glare. Immediately after landing, their eyes are adapted to dark conditions and so are extremely sensitive to high levels of luminance. At the same time, large surfaces must be uniformly illuminated.
Large secondary reflector systems are suitable. With their light distribution reflector, the light from their highperformance projectors is not only widely distributed, but a glare effect is avoided. Alternatively, asymmetrical distribution floodlights can be used. These can be installed and adjusted so that a direct viewing of their lamps from the cockpit is not possible.
