Lighting Systems

Mood Lighting System

Mood lighting is colour changing light, following certain scenarios which are defined by the operator of an aircraft. Our light fixtures enable various scenarios: the simulation of daylight from sunset to sunrise, dinner atmosphere, a cloudy or starry sky.

Sidewall & Ceiling Lights

The sidewall and ceiling lights are responsible for the illumination of the whole cabin. The LED technology used nowadays has a long lifetime and saves weight and energy. An additional benefit of the LED is the possibility to create mood lighting or other coloured scenes in the cabin.

Spot & Reading Lights

The spot and reading lights are used in positions where a punctual or individual illumination is desired. The LED technology used nowadays has a long lifetime and saves weight and energy.

Emergency Signs

The Emergency Signs guide the passengers in case of an emergency. All units are optimized in design and optics. They have small dimensions and weight, high reliability and lifetime, and fulfill as well all safety requirements. Diehl Aerospace supplies several shapes of emergency signs ready for integration in walls and monuments etc.

Regular Signs

The signs like lavatory occupied, no smoking, return to seat, switch of electronic devices etc. are all equipped with the latest LED technology. Therefore a perfect visibility and appearance is given. They are equipped with a self-dimming function with which they adapt to the brightness level of the cabin and do not disturb the human eye.

External Lights

The so called Evacuation Area Light illuminates the area where the escape slide will impact the ground, so the crew can see through the window of the door if it is safe to open the door. Due to highly efficient LED technology the light unit fulfills all requirements with small outline dimensions and low weight.

Emergency Lighting Systems

Floor Path Marking

The Emergency Lighting and the Floor Path Marking Units will illuminate the cabin in case of emergency, so that the passengers can be guided to the exits.

All units are optimized in design and optics. They have small dimensions and weight, high reliability and lifetime, and fulfill as well all safety requirements. Diehl Aerospace supplies several emergency lights for integration which are nearly invisible in the ceiling, walls, monuments, seats etc.

Emergency Lighting Systems

Emergency Power Supplies

The function of the so called EPSU is to power the emergency lights and signs in case of emergency if the normal aircraft power is lost. No aircraft power is needed in such a case, as the units are equipped with an energy storage.Diehl Aerospace's EPSU is state of the art, designed with the latest charging and energy storage technology. Highest reliability is mandatory to fulfill all requirements and safety issues. The units are specially designed to the needs: input power and output power (115VAC; 28VDC or 6VDC); communication system (Bus, I/O); power.

Cargo Compartment Lighting

Cargo Compartment Light

The cargo compartment light is specially designed for challenging environmental conditions of the aircraft cargo compartment. Flame resistance is also fulfilled through temperature and circuit protection. The cargo compartment lighting has a perfect maintenance and due to LED technology a long lifetime. The compartment is illuminated with the required brightness levels and homogeneity.
