Airfield ground lighting systems typically incorporate various types of lights to provide guidance and illumination for aircraft operations. Some of the key types of lights used for airfield ground lighting include:

1. Runway Edge Lights: These lights delineate the edges of the runway and provide visual guidance to pilots during landing and takeoff.
2. Taxiway Lights: Taxiway lights mark the edges and centerline of taxiways, assisting pilots in navigating the airport surface.
3. Approach Lighting System (ALS): ALS consists of various lights, such as sequenced flashing lights, to aid pilots during the approach and landing phases.
4. Threshold Lights: These lights mark the beginning of the runway and help pilots identify its start during landing.
5. Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL): REILs are located at the ends of runways to provide visual cues to pilots, especially during low-visibility conditions.
6. PAPI/VASI Lights: Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) or Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) lights help pilots maintain the correct glide slope during approach and landing.
7. Touchdown Zone Lights: These lights are installed along the runway to delineate the touchdown zone and assist pilots in landing.

These are some of the primary types of lights used for airfield ground lighting, but there may be additional specialized lighting systems depending on the specific requirements of the airport.
