Post Airport lighting

Hello
Can anyone tell me about the different types of airport lighting, I know there are different types of approach lighting systems some using steady burning lights and some with strobes, I know that instrument runways have TDZ lights, green threshold lights, red end lights and red stopway lights. Some reunways have yellow caution zone lighting, what is that? Taxiway lighting is green C/L and or blue edge. Also there are light beacons at some airports, some rotating white and some with a green morse ID, how do those beacons work? Are the rotating or strobe? What is the most common type of approach lighting system at UK, European and US major airports?
