Runway Lighting Systems
Lighting systems that define runway edges, centreline, threshold, runway end and touchdown zones for different operating and visibility conditions, up to CAT I / II / III precision approach runways.
Specialized technical solutions for Airfield Ground Lighting, airport visual aids, photometric testing and AGL electrical systems — delivering reliable, standards-referenced solutions that support runway safety and airport performance.
Precision AGL Solutions is a specialized aviation company dedicated to Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) systems, airport visual aids, and technical consultancy services. Our mission is to provide reliable, innovative solutions — aligned with applicable ICAO, FAA, DGCA and relevant technical requirements — that enhance runway safety, operational efficiency, and airport performance.
We support airports, consultants, contractors, and aviation organizations with end-to-end expertise in the design, testing, maintenance, inspection, and optimization of AGL systems in accordance with ICAO, FAA, DGCA, and relevant international standards.
To become a globally recognized leader in Airfield Ground Lighting solutions by delivering precision, safety, and technical excellence to the aviation industry.
End-to-end AGL services from design through commissioning, maintenance, and training.
A structured portfolio of airfield lighting, visual aids, series-circuit equipment and technical equipment. We help airports, consultants and contractors select, source, integrate, test and support the right products for each application.
Our product portfolio is organised by aviation application instead of isolated part numbers, and mapped against ICAO Annex 14 and FAA AC 150/5340 designations wherever a recognised equivalent exists. This makes it easier to identify the lighting system, electrical infrastructure and technical tools required for a complete AGL installation.
Lighting systems that define runway edges, centreline, threshold, runway end and touchdown zones for different operating and visibility conditions, up to CAT I / II / III precision approach runways.
Visual guidance for aircraft movement from runway exits through taxiways, holding positions, rapid exits and apron manoeuvring areas.
Approach and runway-entry visual guidance covering centreline, crossbar, side-row, threshold and sequenced flashing applications for non-precision and precision approach categories.
Precision approach path indicators together with the check, measurement and alignment accessories used to set up and verify them.
Illuminated signs and runway identification products for movement-area guidance and visual information.
The electrical backbone of series-circuit airfield lighting, from CCR output through isolating transformers, primary and secondary connector kits, cable and field termination.
Visual wind indication and the sensor equipment that feeds airport meteorological and visibility reporting systems.
Lighting solutions used to improve the conspicuity of aviation obstacles, structures and airfield facilities.
Installation hardware and field infrastructure required to position, protect, connect and maintain airfield lighting equipment.
Project-focused support for maintenance teams that need compatible replacement products, spares, upgrades and retrofit options for existing airfield systems.
Product pages should move beyond a photo and short description. Our technical format is designed around the information an airport engineer, consultant, procurement team or maintenance technician actually needs before selection.
Availability, exact configuration, certification / approval status and compliance depend on the selected manufacturer, product variant and project specification. Product information should therefore be verified against the latest approved datasheet and project requirements before procurement.
A quick-reference map between lighting function and the two designation systems most commonly seen on drawings, tenders and datasheets. Use it as an orientation aid — the applicable project specification always governs the exact type, colour and intensity selected.

Designations are cited for general technical orientation only. ICAO and FAA numbering, colours and intensity classes evolve between document revisions — always confirm the current designation against the latest ICAO Annex 14 / Aerodrome Design Manual and FAA AC 150/5340 edition applicable to the project.
