Light intensity classification
Permanently installed runway lighting will be classified according to the available light intensity as either:
- Light Intensity High (LIH),
- Light Intensity Medium (LIM) or
- Light Intensity Low (LIL).
This intensity classification appears in the lighting box on the landing chart in AIPNZ.

On precision approach runways high intensity lighting is normally provided with five stages of intensity control. Other runways are normally provided with two stage intensity lighting.
