Can anyone point me to a document that will tell me the brightness (lumens) of a strobe approach light (ODALS omni directional approach light system) and a hihg intensity runway light?

Hi S,

Will this do? According to Google:
Approach Lights | Flight Light Inc. (http://www.flightlight.com/airportlighting/pages/approach-lighting-systems-papi.html)

Some of the incandescent bulbs seem to be 100, 150 or 200 watts.

Thanks GR, that's a good start - illustrates just how ignorant I am about what questions I need to ask!

For ODALS, see THIS FAA AC (AC 150/5345-51A, Specification for Discharge-type
Flashing Light Equipment,) in *.PDF format.

For runway lights, THIS FAA AC (https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/150-5345-46E.pdf) has the details you need.
