Astronics Introduces New Ambient Lighting For Aircraft Cabins

Industry’s Most Flexible, Consistently Colored Wash Lighting Highlights Cabin And Seat Elements

Astronics Corporation, a provider of advanced technologies for global aerospace, defense, and other mission-critical industries, introduced the new Nuancia RGBW Strip Lights to provide flexible illumination options for aircraft seats and cabins. With this system, aircraft manufacturers and airlines can program mood-lighting systems to accommodate more than 16 million colors, create preset color scenarios, and present color changes.

This product serves emerging lighting trends in aircraft cabin designs and upgrades. “There is a significant increase in ambient lighting interest from airlines and aircraft OEMs, so to service our customers, we’ve taken our existing ultra-reliable lighting products and re-engineered them to provide the industry’s smallest bend radius and closest set LEDs for a flexible, consistent color experience,” explained Fabrice Berthelot, president of Astronics PGA. “The possibilities for exciting new cabin lighting designs are immense.”

Nuancia is the first cabin lighting product offering customizable lengths from four inches to eight feet and with LEDs placed in 2-inch increments, which reduces gaps between lights for a smooth, continuous color wash.

At only 0.28 inches thick and with a 2-inch bend radius, Nuancia is the most flexible product available to illuminate the cabin environment – ceilings, alcoves, seats, walls, windows, and more. Customers can install Nuancia in straight or curved applications, via multiple mounting methods, to highlight the cabin without any hot spots. A dedicated lighting management system controls the strip lights to ensure smooth transitions between lighting phases for various airplane operations, such as takeoff, meal service, or inflight entertainment time. The system uses red, green, blue, and white (RGBW) LED technology to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive set of color choices with options for a range of white lights, from cool to warm settings.

Astronics will display the new Nuancia lights at the upcoming Aircraft Interiors Expo, April 2-4, in Hamburg Germany.
