    Legacy incandescent lamps, like the one pictured, are being replaced in many lighted navigation aids due to advancements in light-emitting diodes (LED). The Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Team, Honolulu, is responsible for "lighting the islands," conducting routine maintenance and LED conversions on Hawaii's navigation aids.

    A woman wearing a blue hard hat and olive green military-style flight suit is positioned at the top of a metal tower or mast structure. She is equipped with a full safety harness system including carabiners and a red coiled safety lanyard. A US flag patch is visible on her right shoulder, indicating US military or government affiliation.
    A worker in dark uniform and safety harness is climbing a metal lattice tower via a fixed ladder, photographed from a low angle looking upward. The structure appears to be a large steel transmission or communication tower painted in a cream/yellow color. Trees and a clear blue sky are visible in the background.
    A person in blue work uniform is handling a large lead-acid battery, likely during installation or removal near a vehicle or equipment. The battery is a white/gray rectangular unit with visible cell caps, terminal posts, and warning labels. The setting appears to be outdoors or in a work environment.
    A male worker wearing U.S. Coast Guard-branded clothing is preparing or adjusting safety equipment outdoors. He is equipped with a blue hard hat, safety harness, carabiners, work gloves, and a GoPro HERO camera mounted on his chest harness. The setting appears to be a residential or semi-wooded outdoor area on a sunny day.
    Two personnel wearing navy blue coveralls are examining equipment on the bed of a utility truck. They appear to be inspecting or servicing a navigational buoy light assembly with illuminated green LED lenses, along with a silver equipment case. The setting appears to be an outdoor maintenance or staging area.
    A group of four workers wearing navy blue uniforms and hard hats are engaged in an outdoor rigging or lifting operation. They appear to be operating a makeshift crane or gin pole system using ropes and a hook to lift or lower a metal container. The setting is a vegetated outdoor area with a red pickup truck visible in the background.
