Airport basks in LED lighting

Shamshabad: The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) has been upgraded with energy-efficient LED signage. The airport now is now dotted with smart LED lights. The switch from conventional halogen lighting system is expected to help save 1 lakh units of electricity every year and curb emissions of 81,000 kg of CO2.
Airfield Ground Lighting Signage acts as a guidance sign post on the air-side to help pilots identify the location of their aircraft, while on the air-side and also while taxing to the designated areas. LEDs are known to be highly energy efficient with a life span of more than 50,000 running hours and 90% less power consumption than incandescent bulbs - reducing power cost and saving of energy.
RGIA recently converted its taxiway edge lights from conventional lamps to LED, becoming the first airport in south India to achieve this feat. The entire landside of the airport has also been converted to LED. Officials say that the airport has been moving away from non-renewable sources of energy and is eager to reduce 20,000 kg of CO2 per annum.
