Comparison of PAPI, VASI, and OLS meatball and datum lights (not to scale) The ratio of white to red lights seen is dependent on the angle of approach to the runway. Above the designated glide slope a pilot will see more white lights than red; below the ideal angle more red lights than white will be seen. At the optimum approach angle the ratio ...
Leading lights, also known as range lights in the United States, are a pair of light beacons used in navigation [2] to indicate a safe passage for vessels entering a shallow or dangerous channel; they may also be used for position fixing. At night, the lights are a form of leading line that can be used for safe navigation. The beacons consist ...

Landing lights are usually of very high intensity, because of the considerable distance that may separate an aircraft from terrain or obstacles. The landing lights of large aircraft can easily be seen by other aircraft over 100 miles away. Key considerations of landing light design include intensity, reliability, weight, and power consumption.
Wave-off lights – red flashing lamps which, when lit, indicate that the pilot must add full power and go around – a mandatory command. When the wave-off lights are lit, all other lamps are extinguished. The wave-off lights are operated manually by the LSO. Some (particularly later) optical landing systems include additional lamps:
Watercraft navigation lights must permit other vessels to determine the type and relative angle of a vessel, and thus decide if there is a danger of collision. In general, sailing vessels are required to carry a green light that shines from dead ahead to 2 points (22 + 1 ⁄ 2 °) abaft [note 1] the beam on the starboard side (the right side from the perspective of someone on board facing ...
Views of a liquid-crystal display, both with electroluminescent backlight switched on (top) and switched off (bottom). A backlight is a form of illumination used in liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) that provides illumination from the back or side of a display panel.
In a television studio, a tally light (or on air indicator) is a small signal lamp on a professional video camera or monitor. It is usually located just above the lens or on the electronic viewfinder (EVF) and communicates, for the benefit of those in front of the camera as well as the camera operator , that the camera is live (i.e. its signal ...
