Photometric Requirements.

a The photometric performance of the fixtures is defined in Tables 1, 2, and 3. The beam
coverage angles in the table define the size of an ellipse, circle, or rectangle. (For this discussion, it is
assumed to be an ellipse, but the same guidelines apply to a circle or a rectangle.)

b The light intensity inside the ellipse, when averaged per paragraph 4.3, must equal or exceed
the intensity specified in the table. Additionally, the intensity must be at least one-half the specified value
everywhere inside the ellipse.

c For some fixtures, a 10 percent ellipse is also defined. The two ellipses are concentric; i.e.,
the main beam ellipse is exactly centered in the 10 percent ellipse. At every point on the 10 percent
ellipse, the light intensity must be at least 10 percent of the specified value.

d For in-pavement lights, part of the 10 percent ellipse may lie below grade; this area may be
disregarded. The light color must match the aviation colors defined in SAE-AS25050 except, as noted in
the tables I and 2.

e The average measured intensity may not be more than three times the specified average
intensity. For fixtures with a minimum but no average intensity requirement, the measured minimum may
be no more than three times the specified minimum intensity. Bi-directional, split color, fixtures are
exempt from this requirement if a single light source is used.
