Abstract: To guide a passenger to the general location of his assigned seat in an aircraft cabin, the cabin is divided into several cabin zones that are individually identified by different colors of illumination, for example a yellow cabin zone, a red cabin zone and a blue cabin zone. Each service class can correspond to one cabin zone or encompass plural cabin zones. Lighting devices arranged in the cabin are activated to provide illuminating light having the appropriate allocated illumination color in each respective cabin zone. The lighting devices are preferably ceiling lights, sidewall lights, and/or window funnel lights, controlled from a flight attendant panel via a lighting controller. A passenger ticket displays the passenger's assigned seat number and letter, and also the color of the cabin zone in which the assigned seat is located.

Abstract: A light system in an aircraft includes an electrical power source, individual light emitting diodes arranged in a cabin of the aircraft, and a multi-layered conductor arrangement connecting the light emitting diodes to the power source. The multi-layered conductor arrangement includes electrically conductive foil layers separated from one another by respective interposed insulative layers, and may be disposed on a curved honeycomb ceiling panel of the aircraft cabin. The foil layers form at least one and preferably several conductive circuits connected to the power source through a switching arrangement that selectively individually energizes the individual conductive circuits. The foil layers are differently patterned so that the diodes are each connected to and isolated from the respective pertinent layers. This avoids individual wiring and can provide different patterns, sequences, or lighting schemes of several independently controlled groups of diodes.
