  • Multifunctional aircraft landing light with static function switching
    Patent number: 10899470
    Abstract: An aircraft landing light with static function switching for producing at least two beams having different characteristics, in particular different orientations and/or openings, comprises an array of light-emitting diode lighting modules (6) each comprising at least two sets of at least one light source (S1, S2), operable selectively and statically to provide at least one of the lighting functions. Each lighting module (6) comprises a common converging lens (L) for the light sources, the converging lens comprising a light input optical surface (Li) and a light output optical surface (L2), said light sources being positioned in relation to the light input optical surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021
    Assignee: ZODIAC AERO ELECTRIC
    Inventors: Philippe Millet, Claude Doule, Christian Tsao

  • Lighting device for aircraft allowing the integration of additional functions at its center
    Patent number: 10246199
    Abstract: A Light Emitting Diode (LED) light for an aircraft includes a hollow cylindrical body, a plurality of LEDs mounted in the hollow body, and at least one reflector to receive light beams emitted by the LEDs and configured to direct the light beams in a lighting direction of the LED light. The LEDs are mounted on a cylindrical support and disposed radially in the cylindrical body, and the cylindrical support has a polygonal contour.
