[0021] The mounting device and flash device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following description. In the following Figures 1 to 4, the same parts are given the same reference numerals, and their description may be omitted. Furthermore, in the drawings, for the sake of convenience, the structure of each part may be shown in an appropriately simplified manner, and the dimensional ratios of each part may be shown schematically and different from the actual ones.

[0022] [Embodiment 1] This embodiment is an example of a mounting device used in an aircraft landing guidance flash device. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the mounting device of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting device 10 of this embodiment includes a pair of mounting arms 11 and a light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. The pair of mounting arms 11 include a first mounting arm 11a, a second mounting arm 11b, and a bridging plate 11c. The first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b are bridged by the bridging plate 11c at their ends toward the bottom surface (downward in FIG. 1) so as to be approximately perpendicular to the surface direction of the bridging plate 11c. The first mounting arm 11a, the second mounting arm 11b, and the bridging plate 11c are integrally molded as a whole. The light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is a U-shaped plate and has a substantially arc-shaped convex portion in the center of the bottom side of the U and a concave portion (notch) adjacent to the convex portion. The outer surface of one end of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is fixed to the inner surface of the upper part (upper side in FIG. 1) of the first mounting arm 11a. The outer surface of the other end of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is fixed to the inner surface of the upper part (upper side in FIG. 1) of the second mounting arm 11b. The light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is supported by the first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b so that the angle of the flash lamp is a predetermined angle when the flash lamp is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. In the mounting device 10 of this embodiment, the mounting device 10 is installed, for example, by directly or indirectly fixing the bottom surface of the bridging plate 11c to the installation surface. Examples of the indirect fixing include fixing via legs (bases) described below.

[0023] The pair of mounting arms 11 may be formed from, for example, metals such as aluminum and stainless steel, or resins.

[0024] The pair of mounting arms 11 includes a first mounting arm 11a, a second mounting arm 11b, and a bridging plate 11c that are integrally formed. However, the shape, size, etc., of the pair of mounting arms 11 are not particularly limited as long as they can support the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. The pair of mounting arms 11 may be composed of, for example, two independent mounting arms. Furthermore, in the mounting device 10 of this embodiment, the pair of mounting arms 11 include the bridging plate 11c, but the bridging plate 11c is an optional configuration and may or may not be included. If the pair of mounting arms 11 do not include the bridging plate 11c, for example, the mounting device 10 may be installed by directly or indirectly fixing the pair of mounting arms 11 to an installation surface. Examples of such indirect fixing include fixing via legs (bases) described below.

[0025] Examples of materials for forming the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 include metals such as aluminum and stainless steel, and resins.

[0026] The light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is a U-shaped plate, and the shape of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 need only be such that the flash lamp can be detachably fixed thereto. The size of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is not particularly limited. In the mounting device 10 of this embodiment, the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 has a recess in the center of the bottom side of the U-shape. By providing such a recess, the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 can suitably fix the flash lamp, for example, even when the flash lamp has a protrusion, such as a connecting part (to be described later), on the fixing surface side of the flash lamp to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12.

[0027] The light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 can detachably fix the flashlight. The flashlight will be described later. The method for fixing the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 and the flashlight may be any method as long as it is a detachable fixing method, and any known detachable fixing method can be used. As a specific example, the flashlight can be fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 by, for example, screws. The number of flashlights fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, one lamp or two or more lamps, but the former is preferable.

[0028] The outer surfaces of both ends of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 are fixed to the inner surfaces of the first and second mounting arms 11a and 11b. The light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is supported by the pair of mounting arms 11 so that the angle of the flashlight is a predetermined angle when the flashlight is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. The position of the mounting portion of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 on the pair of mounting arms 11 is not particularly limited and can be any position. The light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 may be supported by the pair of mounting arms 11 via other members such as supports. The angle of the flashlight can be, for example, the elevation / depression angle or azimuth angle of the flashlight, or a combination thereof. The predetermined angle is not particularly limited and can be set appropriately depending on, for example, the installation location of the mounting device 10, the approach direction of the aircraft, etc. As a specific example, when the angle of the flashlight is the elevation angle of the flashlight, the predetermined angle is not particularly limited and is, for example, 3 to 8°.

[0029] In the mounting device 10 of this embodiment, the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is supported by the first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b, i.e., the pair of mounting arms 11, so that the angle of the flashlight is set to a predetermined angle when the flashlight is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. Therefore, according to the mounting device 10 of this embodiment, the angle of the flashlight can be set to a predetermined angle by fixing the flashlight to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 of the mounting device 10. Therefore, according to the mounting device 10 of this embodiment, it is not necessary to adjust the angle of the flashlight when the flashlight is mounted to the mounting device 10. Since the mounting device 10 of this embodiment can be used to install a flashlight, it can also be called, for example, an "installation device for aircraft landing guidance flashlights" or an "installation tool for aircraft landing guidance flashlights."

[0030] The mounting device 10 of this embodiment may further include, for example, an angle adjustment means. The angle adjustment means can adjust the angle of the aircraft landing guidance flashlight, for example, by adjusting the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11. The light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is supported by the pair of mounting arms 11, namely, the first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b. For this reason, it is preferable that the angle adjustment means can adjust the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b. In this case, the angle adjustment means includes, for example, a first angle adjustment means that adjusts the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the first mounting arm 11a and a second angle adjustment means that adjusts the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the second mounting arm 11b. The first angle adjustment means is formed, for example, on the mounting portions of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 and the first mounting arm 11a. The second angle adjustment means is formed, for example, on the mounting portions of light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 and second mounting arm 11b. When the first angle adjustment means and second angle adjustment means are included, for example, it becomes easy to adjust the angle of light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 with respect to the pair of mounting arms 11, which in turn makes it easy to adjust the angle of the flash lamp, so it is preferable that the angle of light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 with respect to first mounting arm 11a and the angle of light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 with respect to second mounting arm 11b are approximately the same.

[0031] The angle adjustment means is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include means for adjusting the mounting angle of one member relative to the other member. The angle adjustment means may be, for example, a separate member from the pair of mounting arms 11 and the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12, or may be a member formed as part of the pair of mounting arms 11 and the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. A specific example of the angle adjustment means is an angle adjustment means including a rotation shaft and a bearing for the rotation shaft. In this case, at least one of the rotation shaft and the bearing may be disposed in the pair of mounting arms 11, and the other may be disposed in the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. The rotation shaft may be rotatable on the bearing for the rotation shaft, for example, and more specifically, may be rotatably inserted into the bearing for the rotation shaft. The rotation shaft and the bearing for the rotation shaft may be, for example, a separate member from the pair of mounting arms 11 and the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12, or may be formed as part of the pair of mounting arms 11 and the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12.

[0032] With mounting device 10 including the angle adjustment means, when mounting device 10 is installed, the angle of light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 can be adjusted so that the angle of the flashlight becomes a predetermined angle set according to the installation location of mounting device 10, the approach direction of the aircraft, etc. Therefore, with mounting device 10 including the angle adjustment means, the same mounting device 10 can be installed in places with different installation conditions, i.e., places where the angle of the flashlight is different.

[0033] When the angle adjustment means includes the pivot shaft, the mounting device 10 of this embodiment preferably includes a pivot shaft fixing means for fixing the pivot shaft. The pivot shaft fixing means is not particularly limited and may be, for example, a means for fixing a shaft or a means for stopping rotation. The pivot shaft fixing means may be provided on the pivot shaft; that is, the pivot shaft and the pivot shaft fixing means may be integrally formed. In this case, the pivot shaft is rotatable when not fixed and is not rotatable when fixed. Examples of the pivot shaft provided with the pivot shaft fixing means include threaded members such as screws and bolts. By including the pivot shaft fixing means in the mounting device 10 including the angle adjustment means, for example, after the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 is adjusted by the angle adjustment means so that the angle of the flash lamp is a predetermined angle when the flash lamp is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12, fluctuations in the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 can be prevented. Therefore, for example, when the flashlight is attached to the attachment device 10, there is no need to adjust the angle of the flashlight.

[0034] When the mounting device 10 includes the angle adjustment means, it is preferable that the mounting position of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 on the first mounting arm 11a and the mounting position on the second mounting arm 11b are located, for example, on a plane that is approximately parallel to the installation surface of the mounting device 10. In this way, by setting the mounting positions of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 and the pair of mounting arms 11, it is possible to easily adjust, for example, the elevation and depression angles of the flash lamp.

[0035] When the angle adjustment means includes the rotation shaft and a bearing for the rotation shaft, the mounting device 10 of this embodiment may further include a moving shaft and a moving hole for the moving shaft. In this case, the moving hole is an arc-shaped hole centered on the rotation shaft or the bearing for the rotation shaft, and the moving shaft is movable within the moving hole around the rotation shaft. At least one of the moving shaft and the moving hole is disposed on the pair of mounting arms, and the other is disposed on the light-emitting unit fixing plate. The moving hole may be, for example, an arc-shaped recess or an arc-shaped through-hole. In the former case, the moving shaft is, for example, inserted into the moving hole. In the latter case, the moving shaft is, for example, inserted through the moving hole. The central angle of the moving hole is not particularly limited and can be appropriately set according to, for example, the predetermined angle. The moving axis and the moving hole of the moving axis may be, for example, separate parts from the pair of mounting arms 11 and the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12, or may be formed as part of the pair of mounting arms 11 and the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12.

[0036] By using the angle adjustment means including the moving axis and the moving hole of the moving axis, it is possible to more easily adjust the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 so that the angle of the flash lamp is a predetermined angle, for example, when the flash lamp is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12.

[0037] When the angle adjustment means includes the moving shaft, the mounting device 10 of this embodiment preferably includes a moving shaft fixing means for fixing the moving shaft. The moving shaft fixing means is not particularly limited and may be, for example, a means for fixing a shaft or a means for stopping movement. The moving shaft fixing means may be provided on the moving shaft; that is, the moving shaft and the moving shaft fixing means may be integrally formed. In this case, the moving shaft is movable when not fixed and immovable when fixed. Examples of the moving shaft provided with the moving shaft fixing means include threaded members such as screws and bolts. By including the moving shaft fixing means in the mounting device 10 including the angle adjustment means, for example, after the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 is adjusted by the angle adjustment means so that the angle of the flash lamp is a predetermined angle when the flash lamp is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12, fluctuations in the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 can be prevented. Therefore, for example, when the flashlight is attached to the attachment device 10, there is no need to adjust the angle of the flashlight.

[0038] The mounting device 10 of this embodiment may further include, for example, legs, and the mounting device may be placed on an installation surface via the legs. The legs may also include, for example, swivel units. In this case, the swivel units are capable of rotating the pair of mounting arms 11. It is preferable that the swivel units are capable of rotating the pair of mounting arms 11 about an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the installation surface of the mounting device 10. By making the pair of mounting arms 11 swivelable about an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the installation surface in this way, it is possible to more easily adjust the angle of the flash lamp, more specifically, the angle of the pair of mounting arms 11, so that the azimuth angle of the flash lamp becomes a predetermined angle while the flash lamp is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12.

[0039] The mounting device 10 of this embodiment may further include an angle confirmation means capable of confirming the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11. The angle confirmation means is not particularly limited and may be capable of confirming the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to either the mounting arm 11a or the mounting arm 11b, or may be capable of confirming the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to both the mounting arms 11a and the mounting arm 11b. The angle confirmation means may be, for example, a known means capable of confirming the mounting angle of one member relative to another member. The mounting device 10 including the angle confirmation means can, for example, confirm the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11, thereby preventing deviation in the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 when the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is attached to the pair of mounting arms 11. Therefore, the mounting device 10 including the angle confirmation means can prevent deviation from the predetermined angle when, for example, the flash lamp is attached to the mounting device 10. When the mounting device 10 includes the angle confirmation means, the mounting device 10 of this embodiment may further include a level attachment portion to which a level can be detachably attached. The level attachment portion may be located anywhere that allows confirmation of the angle of the angle confirmation means relative to the horizontal plane, such as the upper ends of the mounting arms 11a and 11b. In this way, the inclusion of the level attachment portion makes it possible, for example, to zero-point align the angle confirmation means when installing the mounting device 10, thereby more effectively preventing deviation from the predetermined angle.

[0040] [Embodiment 2] This embodiment is another example of a mounting device used in an aircraft landing guidance flashing device. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the mounting device of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting device 20 of this embodiment includes an angle adjustment means 13, legs 14, and angle confirmation means 15 in addition to the configuration of the mounting device 10 of the first embodiment. The angle adjustment means 13 includes a rotation shaft 13a, a bearing (not shown) for the rotation shaft 13a, and a moving shaft 13b, a moving hole 13c for the moving shaft 13b. In the mounting device 20 of this embodiment, the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is not directly supported by the pair of mounting arms 11 but is indirectly supported via the angle adjustment means 13. Furthermore, the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 has an upward (upper side in FIG. 2) protrusion at the mounting portion with the first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b. In the mounting device 20 of this embodiment, the first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b are provided with the bearings. The rotating shaft 13a is a screw-like member and also serves as the rotating shaft fixing means. The rotating shaft 13a is inserted through the bearing formed in the first mounting arm 11a or the bearing formed in the second mounting arm 11b, and the end of the rotating shaft 13a on the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 side is connected to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. The moving hole 13c is an arc-shaped through-hole centered on the rotating shaft 13a and formed above the bearing (upper side in FIG. 2 ) in the first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b. The moving shaft 13b is a screw-like member and also serves as the moving shaft fixing means. The moving shaft 13b is inserted through the moving hole 13c formed in the first mounting arm 11a or the moving hole 13c formed in the second mounting arm 11b, and the end of the moving shaft 13b on the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 side is connected to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. Furthermore, the moving shaft 13b is movable within the moving hole 13c around the rotation shaft 13a. The legs 14 are connected to the bridging plate 11c on the bottom side of the center of the bridging plate 11c so that the mounting device 20, which includes the pair of mounting arms 11, can be installed on an installation surface. The angle confirmation means 15 includes an angle display unit 15a and a needle 15b. The angle display unit 15a is located at the upper end of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 on the first mounting arm 11a side. The needle 15b is located at the upper end of the first mounting arm 11a on the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 side so as to face the center of the angle display unit 15a.Except for this point, the mounting device 20 of this embodiment has the same configuration as the mounting device 10 of the first embodiment, and the description therefor can be cited.

[0041] The angle display unit 15a is not particularly limited, and may, for example, display a scale indicating the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11. The angle display unit 15a is plate-shaped, but its shape, size, forming material, etc. are not particularly limited. The needle 15b is not particularly limited, and may, for example, be a member that indicates the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 when combined with the angle display unit 15a. The needle 15b is needle-shaped, but its shape, size, forming material, etc. are not particularly limited.

[0042] In the mounting device 20 of this embodiment, when the rotating shaft 13a and the moving shaft 13b are not fixed, for example, the rotating shaft 13a rotates, and the moving shaft 13b moves within the moving hole 13c around the rotating shaft 13a in a manner corresponding to the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 13a. Furthermore, one end of the rotating shaft 13a and one end of the moving shaft 13b are connected to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 as described above. Therefore, the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 rotates around the axis connecting the two rotating shafts 13a in accordance with the rotation of the rotating shaft 13a and the movement of the moving shaft 13b. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 13a and the moving shaft 13b are not fixed, the angle of the flash lamp can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11. Furthermore, in the mounting device 20 of this embodiment, the pair of mounting arms 11 support the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 at two points, the rotating shaft 13a and the moving shaft 13b, when adjusting the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11. Therefore, with the mounting device 20 of this embodiment, the angle of the flash lamp, for example, can be adjusted more precisely. Furthermore, as described above, the rotating shaft 13a and the moving shaft 13b are screw-shaped members. Therefore, after adjusting the angle of the flash lamp, for example, the positional relationship between the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 and the pair of mounting arms 11 can be fixed by fixing at least one of the rotating shaft 13a and the moving shaft 13b, and thereby the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 can be fixed. Therefore, for example, before installing the flash lamp, the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11 can be adjusted with the rotating shaft 13a and the moving shaft 13b in an unfixed state, and after the adjustment, the rotating shaft 13a and the moving shaft 13b can be fixed, thereby eliminating the need to adjust the angle of the flash lamp when the flash lamp is installed on the mounting device 20. Furthermore, the mounting device 20 of this embodiment can adjust the angle of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 relative to the pair of mounting arms 11. Therefore, according to the mounting device 20 of this embodiment, the same mounting device 20 can be installed in places with different installation conditions, i.e., places where the angle of the flash lamp is different.

[0043] [Embodiment 3] This embodiment is an example of an aircraft landing guidance flashlight device. FIG. 3 shows an example of the configuration of the flashlight device of this embodiment. In FIG. 3, (A) is a perspective view from the front showing an example of the configuration of the flashlight device of this embodiment, and (B) is a perspective view from the rear. As shown in FIG. 3, a flashlight device 30 of this embodiment includes an attachment device 10 and a flashlight 31. The attachment device 10 has a configuration similar to that of the attachment device 10 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof can be used. The flashlight 31 includes a connecting portion 32. The connecting portion 32 is disposed on the rear side of the flashlight 31 (opposite the direction of illumination of the flashlight 31). The rear side of the flashlight 31 is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 so that the connecting portion 32 is accommodated in a recess (cutout) in the center of the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. In the flash device 30 of this embodiment, the mounting device is the mounting device 10 of the first embodiment, but other types of mounting devices such as the mounting device 20 of the second embodiment may also be used.

[0044] There are no particular limitations on the flashlight 31, and for example, a known aircraft landing guidance flashlight can be used. There are no particular limitations on the type of light source for the flashlight 31. Specific examples of the flashlight 31 include a xenon lamp (flashlight) and an LED (light emitting diode) lamp (LED flashlight).

[0045] In the flash device 30 of this embodiment, the flash lamp 31 includes a connection portion 32, but the connection portion 32 has an optional configuration and may or may not be included. By including the connection portion 32, for example, if the flash lamp 31 breaks down, the flash lamp 31 can be replaced and the flash device 30 can be reused. This provides superior maintainability compared to, for example, a flash lamp with integrated wiring. The connection portion 32 may be, for example, a member capable of connecting wiring outside the flash lamp 31 to wiring inside the flash lamp 31, and a specific example is a connector for power wiring, etc. The connection portion 32 is preferably a waterproof connection portion, for example, to prevent breakdowns after installation. The connection portion 32 is located on the back of the flash lamp 31, but the location of the connection portion 32 on the flash lamp 31 is not particularly limited and can be located at any position.

[0046] The flash device 30 of this embodiment includes a mounting device 10. In the mounting device 10, the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 is supported by the first mounting arm 11a and the second mounting arm 11b, i.e., the pair of mounting arms 11, so that the angle of the flash lamp is a predetermined angle when the flash lamp is fixed to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12. Therefore, according to the flash device 30 of this embodiment, the angle of the flash lamp 31 can be set to a predetermined angle by fixing the flash lamp 31 to the light-emitting unit fixing plate 12 of the mounting device 10. Therefore, according to the flash device 30 of this embodiment, there is no need to adjust the angle of the flash lamp 31 when the flash lamp 31 is attached to the mounting device 10.

[0047] Next, an installation example of the flash device 30 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4. The flash device 30 of this embodiment may be installed on an installation surface such as the ground by means of the bridge plates 11c of the pair of mounting arms 11. The flash device 30 of this embodiment may also include the aforementioned legs and be installed on an installation surface by means of the legs. The flash device 30 of this embodiment may also include, for example, wiring (e.g., a cable) for supplying power to the flash lamp 31. Furthermore, the flash device 30 shown in Figure 3 may be installed on a pole 33 installed on the ground, as shown in Figure 4.

[0048] In the flash device 30 of this embodiment, the flashlight 31 is configured to be able to flash, for example, 120 times per minute. When the flash device 30 of this embodiment is installed, for example, at a large airport with multiple runways, approximately 8 to 29 lights are installed approximately every 30 meters from the direction of aircraft approach toward the runway end. Furthermore, when the flash device 30 of this embodiment is installed, for example, at a small airport with few aircraft takeoffs and landings and only one short runway, two lights are installed, one on each side of the short side of the runway end, so that two lights flash (flash) simultaneously. Furthermore, when the flash device 30 of this embodiment is installed at an airport where aircraft cannot approach the runway directly, for example, it is installed at key points on the approach to the runway, for example, every few kilometers. Furthermore, the flashlight 31 of the flash device 30 of this embodiment is configured to be able to switch between three brightness levels, for example, in accordance with the standard specifications of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Of these three brightness levels, the brightest, High, is used, for example, during the day when visibility is poor due to fog or rain, the darkest, Low, is used, for example, at night, and the intermediate, Middle, is used, for example, in the evening.
