Narrative:

On 5 mi final to mfr runway 14 noticed GS deviations. Asked mfr status of GS. They responded they had a 'red light' on GS. On 3 mi final it appeared some runway lights were missing on the northwest end of field. We requested to circle to runway 32 because the lights appeared better functioning on that end. We discussed (crew) options. Airports down the valley were going below landing minimums with fog, mfr was forecast for fog. On final for runway 32 it appeared the left runway lights were fully functional while the right side was degraded. We planned to go around if landing cues and sufficient lighting were unavailable to safely continue. From 200 ft down the landing and approach lights clearly lit the pavement and runway markings. Though the right runway lights still appeared degraded in intensity, it was determined that a safe landing was indicated. We landed.

Title: MDT ACR FLC MUST CHANGE RWYS ON APCH DUE TO GS OTS AND RWY LIGHTING NOT ADEQUATE FOR NIGHT CONDITIONS. ATC DID NOT GIVE THIS INFO TO FLC THEY HAD TO DISCOVER IT ON THE APCH.

Narrative: ON 5 MI FINAL TO MFR RWY 14 NOTICED GS DEVS. ASKED MFR STATUS OF GS. THEY RESPONDED THEY HAD A 'RED LIGHT' ON GS. ON 3 MI FINAL IT APPEARED SOME RWY LIGHTS WERE MISSING ON THE NW END OF FIELD. WE REQUESTED TO CIRCLE TO RWY 32 BECAUSE THE LIGHTS APPEARED BETTER FUNCTIONING ON THAT END. WE DISCUSSED (CREW) OPTIONS. ARPTS DOWN THE VALLEY WERE GOING BELOW LNDG MINIMUMS WITH FOG, MFR WAS FORECAST FOR FOG. ON FINAL FOR RWY 32 IT APPEARED THE L RWY LIGHTS WERE FULLY FUNCTIONAL WHILE THE R SIDE WAS DEGRADED. WE PLANNED TO GAR IF LNDG CUES AND SUFFICIENT LIGHTING WERE UNAVAILABLE TO SAFELY CONTINUE. FROM 200 FT DOWN THE LNDG AND APCH LIGHTS CLRLY LIT THE PAVEMENT AND RWY MARKINGS. THOUGH THE R RWY LIGHTS STILL APPEARED DEGRADED IN INTENSITY, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A SAFE LNDG WAS INDICATED. WE LANDED.
