IFPL Group announced that Electra Airways has chosen Cobalt Spectrum LED drop-in mood lighting for its A321 fleet.
Electra Airways is a Bulgarian airline that provides services to tour operators, airlines, and brokers within the aerospace industry, and since 2023, the airline has become part of the Vector Group.
Cobalt Spectrum mood lighting is a ‘plug-and-play’ system, a direct replacement for fluorescent tubes. It is designed to be lightweight and long-lasting, while requiring no changes to the aircraft wiring. It is deployed and flying with multiple carriers worldwide.
The system will enable Electra to illuminate the interior of each aircraft with its brand colours, and provide additional light settings for boarding, meal services, sleeping, waking, and more.
Matvey Koloturskiy, deputy CEO of the Vector Group, said: “We have strategically decided to refurbish all cabins in Electra Airways’ fleet with the aim of achieving multiple objectives: delivering an exceptional product to our customers and integrating cutting-edge technologies that enhance sustainability and reduce weight in our operations.”
“The LED lighting, supplied by Cobalt Aerospace, aligns perfectly with these goals,” Koloturskiy continued. “We are confident that our passengers and partners will appreciate the cozy and colourful lighting features, enhancing their onboard experience. Additionally, from an operational standpoint, the installation of this new lighting system will further reduce the overall weight of our A320 aircraft by an additional 50kg.”
“We eagerly anticipate unveiling the final result to our passengers in the coming weeks!” Koloturskiy concluded.
Tommy Nelms, VP global sales, commented: “In recent years, the aviation industry has witnessed a growing emphasis on creating a unique and memorable passenger experience. Realising this demand, we have invested significant resources in research and development to craft an exceptional wireless controlled LED cabin mood lighting solution. By blending creativity with advanced technology, we aim to improve the way passengers perceive their time in flight, and support relaxation and well-being.”
