APRON AND RAMP LIGHTING AT CHICAGO-O'HARE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
The apron and ramp lighting at Chicago-O'Hare International Airport, which served the concourse aprons and service areas for twenty years, has become obsolete due to the traffic of larger aircraft and the need for more complex ground service operations. The low-mounted fluorescent system produces a limited lighting pattern and has become a burden in maintenance service costs. A new lighting system now being installed will overcome these inadequacies and satisfy O'Hare's modern-day visibility requirements for pilots and ground crews. High-mounted 1000 kw. high-pressure sodium cutoff luminaires are supplemented with low-mounted 150 kw. high-pressure sodium units.
