That's not belittling, it's pointing out that a lot of people here just want to spread negativity. There is enough of that out there. Try being nice and helping someone out for a change.
And about the info I asked for, its just curiosity. Im just wondering if they are back to full class size. It doesn't affect me.

They are light guns, that shoot down the runway and with a fancy computer inside they measure how far they can "see", which is converted to human talk and gives you the distance you can see from the cockpit while looking down the runway. I am trying to keep this simple. The chart put out by the FAA/airport tells you what is legal for take off at that airport/ runway from those light guns. If one light gun is broken and the report is missing you can take off, if two are broken can NOT go. However you can never ever go if they fall below what the chart says is legal. .

I have been to a lot of airports but have never seen "light guns" along runways. I have seen Transmissometers though. They are devices that use a laser beam to detect atmospheric particles (smoke, dust, water vapor) and the density of them in a given calibrated space.
