Commercial Airport Lighting Market - Terminal, Airside and Landside from 2013 To 2018

 

Introduction :


The scope of Airport Lighting Market report is to identify the business opportunity that arises from new airports, terminals or any airport expansion/up gradation. The airfield lighting plays a crucial role at airports in order to enhance passenger experience. Airports have begun to install light emitting diodes (LEDs) on runway edge lights and taxiway lights, in hope to increase safety and to reduce the cost of runway operation.

 

An Airfield Lighting Market has three important divisions:

  • Majority of lighting solutions are present at Air side.
  • Followed by lighting solutions in the land side right from arrival of passengers to airport and right from disembarkation of passengers to exiting the airport.
  •  Lastly, the ground access areas that is parking pick up and drop points and so on.
Lighting is an important safety feature which is necessary at every airport to facilitate night flying. In general, the type of aircraft used in the airport, determines the type of lighting solutions necessary. One particular type of required lighting system is an edge-light system which is used to outline usable operating areas of airports during periods of darkness or low visibility. There are several edge-light systems that are currently available.

Among the key landing and ground-movement visual aids are those located in the pavement of runways and taxiways. These lighted aids can be needed for landing, roll-out, take-off, ground movement, traffic control and high-speed exits from runways and apron guidance for docking. Techniques can be constantly developed to make its installation compatible with paving requirements yet without compromising the integrity and function of the lights.

The latest Airport Lighting said to be very advanced and effective solution/systems for air side, land side and ground access. Many designs and modules have been developed by many consultants and the airport has the option to choose which module they can use for their airports.

 

Market Of  Airport Lighting :

 Airport Lighting accounts for approximately 25% to 30% of electrical use in most commercial buildings. At airports, this can increase up to 40%. With the addition of Operation and Maintenance, lighting holds the greatest prospective for saving energy at small airport terminals. Retrofits in lighting systems can have significant impact on the other, more costly infrastructure upgrades such as ventilation and boilers equipment owing to reduction in cooling loads provided by more efficient fluorescent fixtures. Lighting upgrades open up power for other systems or expansion of facilities. Airport Lighting improvements, coupled with other energy efficiency projects, eliminated the need to construct a new energy plant. Airport Lighting upgrades also has the potential to improve productivity and passenger experience by improving light quality and levels, improves more control by turning lights off or balancing levels with daylight, and reduce maintenance costs by increasing lamp life.

Lamp Fixtures


Extensive research says that the lamp and fixture retrofits as low-cost energy efficiency improvements that return noteworthy savings. It may also be noted that lighting improvements are one of the most noticeable ways to save energy, which, along with visual display upgrades. Screw-in incandescent fixtures to compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are some of the change that is happening all over the world, which use up to 75% less energy and last significantly longer. The cost of CFL fixtures has dropped extensively in recent years making this upgrade even more affordable. Maintenance savings may also be found owing to reduced replacement frequency.

Although often distinguished as a high-efficiency lamp, fluorescents can be limited in lighting output comparative to other lamps, specifically high-intensity-discharge or HID. Areas where conversion from fluorescent to HID may be appropriate include exterior precautionary lighting on terminals and areas which can be surrounded by parking structures attached to the terminals.

Central Automated Lighting


Another type of lighting control system involves centralized control of all lighting fixtures within the terminal. By using central control, areas of activity that were not previously monitored and tracked will now be monitored and tracked, and ignored or crisis areas will be identified. In addition, some central controls can track total hours that lamps have been in service, supplying staff on duty with useful information with which they could schedule re-lamping programs. Another strategy that put forth is to plan lighting controls to periodical turning off the lights within a certain area of the building during the off-peak period. Lighting reduction during non-peak hours and utilization of central lighting control is a common practice followed by most of the airports.
According to a new market research report, "Commercial Airport Lighting Market (Terminal, Airside & Landside)(2013 – 2018)", authored by MarketsandMarkets , the total airport lighting market is expected to reach $244.3 Million by 2018 with a CAGR of 6.07%.
