In response to "Update to Light Name Table", with respect to support of FAA level D airports, we would like to request clarifications, additions, and/or corrections for the following light types:

AIM - FAA Aeronautical Information Manual
As a general comment, we would like to distinguish between elevated and in pavement lights since their real world intensities, directionality, and sizes are appreciably different.
1. Runway guard (AC 4.4, AIM 2-1-10-d):
Taxiway\Runway_Guard 415
Taxiway\Guard\Type[1-4]_Light 418-422
It is unclear what distinguishes these types. They are all listed as omni-directional, non-flashing, white lights when they should be uni-directional, yellow, flashing lights.
2. Stop bar (AC 4.5.a)
Taxiway\Stop_bar_Light 416
These are red, not green lights.
3.) Taxiway Centerline (AC 4.3.b.1-3)
Taxiway\Centerline 406-408
Taxiway\Lead-on_Light 413
No yellow light types are available. Why have a lead-on type without a lead-off type?
