NZHN afterhours lighting
Can someone explain to me how NZHN after hour lighting is controlled? AIP has some obscure reference to a phone number to call for remote control of the lights. I plan a flight there with departure after 10pm.

If you don't have a chance to call ahead, you can get the Rescue Fire lads on the unattended frequency and they'll turn the lights on for you. If you need the runway changed, I believe they need to physically go into the control tower so it takes a bit longer.
