Aviation Lighting
Lighting for aviation includes lighting used in and on aircraft
and at airports and airfields. Aircraft interior lighting allows
crew members to see and use flight and system controls,
and it allows passengers to see inside the aircraft cabin.
Reading lights allow passengers to customize the lighting in
their own space. Airport lighting illuminates public areas and
marks runways, taxiways, and hazards.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) selected the
LRC
to join its Centers of Excellence program (link to press release).
LRC researchers are involved in several aviation lighting projects,
including aircraft interior lighting and lighting systems for remote airfields.
Many of these projects involve LED lighting and are part of the
Solid-State Lighting Program.
