In an imperfect world perfection is not instantly available. Always expect failures — in systems and humans. Don’t let either kill you. – Jim Wetherbee Safety is top priority of the global aviation industry. Wildlife hazard management is critical to the safety of operations at airports. The airport size may vary from 500 acres to covering over 5,000 acres depending on factors such as volume of passenger traffic, number of runways, and available facilities.

In the past few decades, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have seen a huge surge in their application. When a voltage is applied, semiconductor diodes emit light through electroluminescence, which is the operating principle of LEDs. Construction of an LED The LED assembly typically comprises the LED chip, which is the silicon p-n junction responsible for light emission, connected via soldering to the Cathode terminal. To collect and concentrate the light in a specific location, the chip is surrounded by a reflective cavity. The anode side of the LED chip is…

LED lights are what we use today. Today we have plethora of options and specifications to choose from which makes it even more difficult as every single light has a big impact on the space. The LED package will display lumens, colour temperature, power consumption per unit and colour consistency. Not all LED manufacturers will disclose CRI (colour rendering index). We will discuss these terms in this blog. What are Lumens? Think of lumens as a “new” way of knowing how bright a lamp is. Lumens = Light Output. In…
