Interior Cabin LED Lighting
Failed and obsolete aircraft cabin LED lighting segments and solutions.
"We currently have two failed LED Light segments and the lights are obsolete."
Ambiance, Safety & Zones
Aircraft cabin illumination has evolved with the advent of technology improvements
Cabin lighting has evolved and now includes solid-state LED technology and
circuitry vs incandescent and fluorescent bulbs
The new technology creates comfort, reduced stress and increased safety
LED lighting lasts 15 to 20 times longer than older technology
New lighting adds potential resale value of older aircraft
Failed LED Lighting: Repair or Upgrade
New generation of LED lighting is introduced in the industry roughly every two or three years: creating challenges of replace or upgrade decisions.
Replacement parts for fluorescent systems are pricier and difficult to locate and can take weeks to located and ship
Certain first generations LED lighting systems are not OEM supported.
Third-party 'Drop-in' LED bulbs provide a solid replacement alternative, but may require longer delivery times
LED bulbs that use the existing ballast for power can utilized for older systems
Lighting upgrade considerations
MROs generally suggest new LED lighting for balanced costs and long-term solution
New LED systems can function with white-only or RGB, providing a wide array of up-wash and down-wash lighting options
LED operation includes touchscreen controllers multiple adjustment and app based controls for individual cabin occupant lighting needs
LED systems also offer presets and automatic adjustment for each phase of the flight
