In a bid to enhance safety measures and reduce its environmental impact, Launceston Airport has recently completed the installation of state-of-the-art LED technology in its high intensity approach lighting (HIAL) system.
The new lighting system, situated on yellow masts strategically positioned before the runway, is set to revolutionise the way pilots navigate during low visibility weather conditions.
“This project has involved the replacement of the old incandescent lighting system with more energy efficient LED technology,” a spokesperson said.
“This change will result in a 60% decrease in energy consumption and a reduction of two tonnes of CO2 annually.”
“We are so proud that our new HIAL system not only helps with maintaining our first-class safety standards, but also significantly decreases our carbon footprint.”
