märgistusvalgustuse

Märgistusvalgustus, often translated as marker lighting or marking lights, refers to a category of lighting devices designed to indicate the presence and outline of an object or area. These lights are typically low-intensity and are used to make something more visible, especially in conditions of poor visibility or at night. Their primary purpose is safety and navigation, helping to prevent collisions or to guide people or vehicles.

In many applications, märgistusvalgustus is used to delineate the boundaries of roads, runways, or parking lots. This can include lights embedded in the pavement or placed along the edges. They are also commonly found on large vehicles, such as trucks and boats, to indicate their dimensions and to make them more conspicuous to other traffic. In aviation, marker lights are crucial for indicating the location of obstacles or the edges of taxiways and runways.

The design of märgistusvalgustus can vary greatly depending on its intended use. They can be single lights, strips of lights, or integrated into other structures. Color is also an important consideration, with specific colors often assigned to particular meanings, such as red for danger or obstruction, and white or yellow for guidance. The intensity is generally kept low to avoid glare or distraction while still fulfilling the marking function.
