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.
