At AeroLEDs, we believe that innovation is equal parts inspiration & perspiration. Since our inception in 2006, we embarked on a mission to redefine the expectations of modern LED aerospace lighting.

Entering the aerospace lighting market, which had remained largely unchanged for 50 years & in drastic need of a new product with a fresh look & unequalled performance, AeroLEDs created the first LED-based aeroplane lights, forever changing the aerospace lighting market & raising the standard for performance & quality.

Hungry for new ideas, backed by a company that values patronage, customers quickly adopted the new standard of quality, design & performance for aeroplane lights never seen before in the industry. As a result, legacy manufacturers of aeroplane lights were forced to respond by introducing look-alike products, in an effort to stay relevant in a once stagnant market.

Over the past 16 years, AeroLEDs installations ranging from the Experimental & 23 markets up to the space & military applications, with over 15 tactical military platforms, featuring products in both overt & covert operations – AeroLEDs continues to lead the industry in design, reliability, & unsurpassed performance. Unique in its presence & unmatched in its perseverance, AeroLEDs serves the aviation market from one spectrum to the next, moving this important safety requirement of aeroplane lighting from a forgotten necessity to a desired accessory.

Services

Aircraft LED Lighting technology offers numerous advantages over conventional Halogen & Xenon bulb based aircraft lighting technologies. LEDs directly convert power into light, are 10x more efficient than incandescent, draw far less current than conventional lighting & require no external hi-voltage power supply.

Aircraft LEDs from AeroLEDs turn on instantly, dissipate minimal heat, & are unaffected by on/off cycles.
AeroLEDs provide light even at low engine RPM, which is critical for landing configuration.
LEDs are solid-state & are vibration & shock resistant.
Proper electrical design allows AeroLEDs lighting products to easily last over 30,000 hours in continuous operation, eliminating the cost of frequent light replacements.
AeroLEDs installations are “one-&-done.”

LONG LIFE
When integrated into a well designed lighting system with adequate heat sinking & solid-state mounting, LED based lighting products will easily last over 50,000 hours of continuous operation. Unlike most other light sources, LEDs do not have their lifespan reduced by on/off cycles. AeroLEDs products are designed to keep the LED junction temperatures well below their maximum rated values to ensure that the manufacturer’s rated life projections are achieved, & all of the LEDs are hard mounted to avoid stress failures. Halogen bulb landing lights typically only last 100 hours, & Xenon strobe tubes typically only last 2000 hours in the aircraft environment.

HIGH EFFICIENCY
The LEDs used in AeroLEDs products have high lumen efficacy ratings, & as a result our products typically use less than 1/3 the power of halogen bulbs. This significantly reduces the electrical load on the aeroplane’s battery & alternator system. On final approach, low engine RPMs result in a reduced output from the alternator, so halogen bulbs typically brown-out the electrical system & produce less than their rated light output at full voltage. AeroLEDs LED lights maintain their full light output even at lower battery voltages

SHOCK & VIBRATION RESISTANT
The LEDs in our product are solid-state mounted devices that can tolerate high levels of shock & vibration without failing. The primary driver of Halogen bulb filament failures & Xenon tube lead failures is airframe vibration. Our LED lights are designed to tolerate this high vibration environment indefinitely.

LESS WEIGHT
Our aircraft LED products utilise built-in power supplies & are very lightweight. Traditional Xenon strobes utilise large, heavy power supply boxes. Converting to a pair of AeroLEDs wingtip strobes can remove 3 pounds of weight from an aeroplane.

LOW DRAG
Our LED strobe products are streamlined designs that take advantage of the small size of LED light sources to create an aerodynamic profile that produces less drag than traditional Xenon strobe housings.

BUILT-IN PULSE MODE & SYNCHRONISATION
All of our landing light products have a built-in pulse mode that blinks the light on & off at a 1Hz rate when power is applied to the pulse mode power wire. All of our landing light products synchronise with each other regardless of model to create a wig-wag alternating flashing pattern for enhanced in flight visibility for air to air & air to ground collision avoidance & recognition. All of our strobes have a synchronisation signal that can allow them to flash in unison when connected together.

HIGHER COLOUR TEMPERATURE WHITE
Part of what makes LED lights the best for aeroplanes & drones is they have 6500K (sunlight equivalent) colour temperature, designed for superior visibility as compared to yellower halogen sources. The higher colour temperature light stimulates all of the cones in the fovea of the human eye, which is the area of the eye that provides the highest resolution vision. 6500K is also superior for air-to-air recognition since it looks like sunlight reflecting off of a mirror, where yellower light sources are not as attention getting.
