Innovations and Trends Shaping the Airport Smart Lighting Sector
Technological progress remains a core focus for market leaders, particularly in developing next-generation lighting systems such as NVG-compatible runway lights. These systems enhance pilot visibility during low-light and adverse weather conditions, improving runway safety and operational efficiency.
NVG-compatible lighting is designed to be visible through night vision goggles, allowing pilots to navigate safely without compromising the effectiveness of their night vision equipment. For example, in May 2025, Belgium-based ADB SAFEGATE introduced the AXON High-Intensity Elevated Airfield Lighting system. This innovative product delivers best-in-class energy efficiency, offering up to 80% energy savings compared to traditional halogen lights, while also reducing environmental impact. Its modular design ensures backward compatibility with existing airport infrastructures, easy upgrades, and enhanced visibility through integrated infrared lighting aligned with night vision requirements. The goal is to boost airport safety, reliability, and operational efficiency while future-proofing lighting infrastructure with adaptable smart technologies.
