Alternative term: Range Lights (U.S.A.)
Two or more lights positioned to form a leading / range / transit line to be followed.
A leading line defined by two such leading lights is called the axis of the lights. (Fig.47)
Note: In Britain, the axis of the lights is often called the Line of Lights. In German it is called Richtfeuerlinie.
Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
