How to Use the Luminous Range Diagram How to Use the The  diagram  is  entered  from  the  top  or  bottom  border,  using  nominal Luminous range  obtained  from  the  Light  List.  The  figures  along  the  curves Range  Diagram represent  the  estimated  meteorological  visibility  at  the  time  of observation,  and  those  along  the  left-hand  border  represent  the  luminous range  under  those  conditions. Example:  A  light  has  a  nominal  range  of  20  miles.  If  the meteorological  visibility  is  20  miles,  the  light  would  be  sighted  at  about 33  miles.  If  the  meteorological  visibility  is  only  5  miles,  the  luminous range  of  the  light  is  about  12  miles. When  using  this  diagram,  you  must  remembered  that: the  range  obtained  is  approximate. atmospheric  conditions  may  not  be  consistent  between  the  observer and the light. the  glare  of  background  lighting  will  reduce  the  range  at  which  light is sighted. 4-13
