Runway centerline lighting

A series of white lights installed along the centerline of an instrument runway to provide visual guidance during takeoff and landing operations, particularly in low visibility conditions. The lights are spaced at 50-foot intervals and change to alternating red and white in the final 3,000 feet, then all red for the final 1,000 feet to indicate remaining runway length.
