Sector Light

« Back to Glossary Index

Occasionally a light may not be visible through 360 degrees, or it may shine different colours depending on where it is viewed from. In this instance the arcs or sectors of visibility and colours will be shown on the chart by dotted lines and a description of the sector such as ‘obscured’, ‘W’ (white light), ‘R’ (red light) or ‘G’ (green light).
