The video introduces a portable lighting system for runways developed by Leonard Karn. It is powered by rechargeable 12-volt batteries and features unbreakable plastic lenses. The system is designed for small airfields lacking permanent lighting, offering a cost-effective solution under £800 compared to the £3,000 for permanent systems. The portable lamps allow for layout adjustments based on conditions and wind direction, demonstrated at West Midland airfield.
