  • Apparatus and method for preventing night blindness and/or vertigo among pilots caused by the reflection of an aircraft's anti-collision warning lights from clouds or other light reflecting conditions into the cockpit
    Patent number: 7755515
    Abstract: The following is an aircraft warning light adjustment system. Levels of ambient light and/or reflected light can be detected by detectors and transmitted to a processing unit. A processing unit, based on the received detections, can make automatic decisions concerning whether to turn on or off automatic warning lights located on the aircraft. If the aircraft is flying at night in cloudy conditions, the warning lights can be automatically turned off before the reflections from the clouds can cause pilots to experience night blindness, vertigo, or other problems caused by the reflected light.
