For airfields requiring safe, well-defined ground movement, Jetsys Defence supplies high-performance Taxiway Edge Inset Light systems built to handle continuous aircraft traffic, weather extremes, and low-visibility operations. These rugged, low-profile fixtures ensure that pilots receive accurate taxiway guidance day and night
What Is a Taxiway Edge Inset Light?
A Taxiway Edge Inset Light is an in-pavement aviation lighting fixture used to define the edges of taxiways, aprons, and parking areas—especially where standard elevated lights may interfere with aircraft movement.
Where Taxiway Inset Lights Are Used
Taxiways and apron edges
Stand and parking areas
Narrow taxi routes where elevated lights may get damaged
Low-visibility operations during fog, rain, or night conditions
Taxiway Edge Inset Light Colour Variants
Jetsys Defence provides multiple Taxiway Edge Inset Light colour options depending on airfield category and visual requirements:
Blue for standard taxiway edge guidance
Green/blue combination for specific routing zones
Bi-directional options for inbound and outbound visibility
LED or halogen as per airport specification
Lights are engineered to deliver uniform illumination with minimal power consumption and long operational life.
