PWI has unveiled a new PMA-approved LED cabin lighting system to replace the original fluorescent lighting in the passenger cabin, galley and lav areas of the Cessna Citation Excel 560XL.
“Our LEDs are a one-for-one, pre-measured lighting replacement,” said Robi Lorik, president/CEO at PWI. “Since there are several cabin configurations in the Excel, PWI refers to the aircraft owner’s Cessna Interior Maintenance Manual to configure the precise replacement LED system. PWI LEDs are a complete system that are ready to install right from the box. We even add replacement dimming controls. This lighting system brings the Excel up to modern appearance and performance standards.”
PWI said this LED system offers 100,000 hours of service life, creates no heat, and offers instant-on lighting performance. New dimmer controls are included that mimic the original switches.
The system is available for Citation Excel 560XL aircraft in serial numbers ranging from 5001 through 5349. The LED installation reuses the original lighting wiring. Multiple lighting systems are available to match cabin layouts precisely. The PWI LED cabin lighting system uses 4,000K neutral white colour temperature LEDs and runs on the aircraft-supplied 28V. The Cessna Citation Excel 560XL LED cabin light system has a three-year PWI warranty.
“This latest LED cabin lighting system gives Citation customers PWI LED cabin lighting options for the Citation 525 CJ1, 525 CJ2, Citation V 560, 550 Bravo, Citation II 550 and now the Citation Excel 560XL,” said Lorik. “We have additional business jet LED cabin lighting systems in the works, including our full-colour RGBW systems.”
PWI has also designed and manufactured plug-and-play LED reading lights that are PMA-approved in more than 100 aircraft – including the Citation family of jets. An LED Wing Inspection Light is also PMA-approved in multiple Citation models.
