Runway Extension Edge lighting ?

Just our of curosity: looking at the AIS airfield layout PDF and recent photo's of the extension looking North West up Rwy 33 from the physical end of the concreate by the white edge line (on a Photo log web site)

I have noticed that although the extension segment of runway between Echo and Sierra does have centerline lighting fitted from taxiway S to the extension line up point and centreline lighting as needed for CATII/CAT III Operations, there appears to be no white[Edit: Sorry it can be Orange/Red] runway edge lighting fitted along this segment as yet.

Obviously It might be one of the things to be done before the extension becomes operational or is there an operational reason for this ? - I see that some of the 33 Calvert approach lighting is embedded along this part of runway because of the displaced 33 threshold.

Does this mean that the extension can be used only during promulgated daylight hours and also seperatly during CAT II/III 15 Ops; only exits via taxiway Echo would be allowed ?

CAT III
