PWI Applies LED Technology to Illuminating Icing Hazards

"PWI Ice Light Lasts 100,000 Hours Which Means Less Time And Money Replacing Bulbs"

PWI has introduced LEDs to the ice light, with a new product - the PWI LED Ice Light. The PWI LED Ice Light is designed for a variety of aircraft from piston planes and turboprops to business jets. This new LED light is now awaiting PMA approval.

“This is an LED that lasts much longer than the factory installed incandescent lights that burn out quickly,” says Robi Lorik, President and CEO of PWI. “The PWI Ice Light lasts 100,000 hours which means less time and money replacing bulbs.”

PWI’s LED Ice Light is a direct drop-in replacement for several incandescent bulbs. Bulb #A7079B24 is compatible with Baron 55 and 58, King Air model 90 series, 100, 200 series, B200 series, 300, 300LW, B300, B300C and the 99.

Part #MS25338-7079 is compatible in Cessna Centurion 210, P210, T210 and Conquest 441. Part #A7079B24 is compatible in Cessna Caravan 208 and 208B, Citation 550 Bravo, 560, 560XL and 650 CVII. Part #WA7079B24 is compatible in the Cessna 680 Pylon Flood Light.

The PWI LED Ice Light is designed to be much more efficient and effective as well as a benefit to overall safety. It reportedly features many improvements over incandescent bulbs including enhanced visibility as well as eliminating the radiant heat that comes with incandescent bulbs. Less heat means less lens cracking and distortion over the life of the light.

“We all know the Ice Light is valuable to pilots, not just for use in icy weather situations, but also for the overall safety of the aircraft,” says Lorik. “This LED Ice Light provides added visibility and more peace of mind for pilots.”

PWI’s LED Ice Light is an alternative to all incandescent bulbs. Regardless of outside temperatures, the Ice Light is well-suited for use at dusk and during night flights or when taxing and during take-off and landing. The LED Ice Light also requires significantly less power draw. It is a no-compromise solution to overall safety and efficiency that saves money over the life of an aircraft. PWI’s Ice Light is compatible with Beechcraft King Air and Baron models as well as Cessna’s Centurion, Conquest, Caravan and Citation model aircraft. PMA certification is expected in December 2021. PWI’s LED Ice Light is the first in a series of LED Ice Lights for various general aviation aircraft.
