PWI has announced a PMA-approved LED downwash cabin lighting system for Lear 60/60XR jets, a replacement for the original fluorescent light tubes and power inverters.
The new LED lighting installation uses the original aircraft lighting wiring, to make the installation faster and easier, and is powered by the aircraft-supplied 28V – without high-voltage fluorescent light power inverters.
PWI said that the high voltage required by the original fluorescents is eliminated, also removing the potential for electrical and radio interference. The company added that LEDs also provide instant-on cold weather performance without hums, buzzing, flickering and “other fluorescent light characteristics”. PWI added that its cabin LED lighting systems offer a 100,000-hour service life, create no heat, and require no maintenance.
“PWI fluorescents have fulfilled the role of cabin lighting for decades – in fact PWI has built cabin lighting for more than 50 years,” said Robi Lorik, president/CEO at PWI. “PWI is bringing LED technology to early business jets, renewing the cabin experience in Citation, Falcon and Hawker/Beechjet 400/400A jets as well as Pilatus PC-12 and King Air turboprops. The latest addition of the Learjet 60 joins the Lear 35 and 36 we received PMA approval for in the summer of 2024. The addition of PWI cabin LED lighting creates an environment that inspires productivity and generally enhances the whole passenger experience.”
A single LED cabin lighting system serves both the Learjet 60 and 60XR aircraft. All LED cabin lighting systems have a three-year PWI warranty. PWI FAA-approved LED aviation upgrades can be purchased directly or through the company’s authorised dealer and distribution network.
