  • Patent number: 8807803
    Abstract: AN LED lighting device of an aircraft for maneuvers of landing, and/or take-off, and/or taxiing, and/or searching comprising: one or more light-emitting modules including a light-emitting semiconductor device configured for emitting a light radiation; a supporting substrate carrying the light-emitting semiconductor device; a curved reflector having a concave reflecting surface and defining a plane of emission, wherein the concave reflecting surface has a semiparabolic shape obtained by sectioning a semiparaboloid along two mutually parallel cutting planes, and is arranged facing the light-emitting semiconductor device in such a way as to collect the light radiation and generate a radiation reflected through the plane of emission.

  • Patent number: 8454212
    Abstract: An anti-collision light for aircraft comprising two illuminating modules each comprising a number of LEDs disposed along a ring and coplanar to a plane, a first reflector facing the LEDS and a second reflector surrounding the LEDS; the first and the second reflector are so configured as to reflect the light emitted by LEDs toward angles between 0 and 75° above or below said plane. An additional module providing infra-red radiation is may be provided; the additional module comprising number of infra red LEDs disposed along a ring and coplanar to a plane and a reflector facing the infra red LEDs.
