Taxiway lights are used to illuminate taxiways and aprons on the airfield. Taxiway lights are of different colors: blue for taxiway edge light, yellow and green for taxiway centerline.
Portable taxiway lights are used to temporarily illuminate taxiway in case of an unexpected failure of the primary airfield lighting. Also, portable taxiway lights are used to illuminate temporary taxiways (e.g. mobile military air bases).
