PWI's Ice Light Receives PMA Approval

Drop-In LED Bulb Available for King Air, Citation, Caravan Aircraft 

PWI, the aircraft lighting specialist, has received parts manufacturer approval for its LED Ice Light for installation on a range of Beechcraft and Cessna Aircraft. 

The light is slated to provide 100,000 hours of service life, a vast difference over stock incandescent bulbs at 165 hours. The light provides 210 more lumens than similar replacements, enhancing the ability of the crew to gauge the formation of ice formation on the aircraft. The LED construction, as is the norm for the tech, runs much cooler than stock units, resulting in less lens discoloration over time, cracking, or warping of the housing throughout its service life. 

The Light features a bayonet mount that directly drops in to replace a range of bulbs fitted to aircraft from Beechcrafts' Baron, King Air, Hawker 400, Beechjet, and more. Cessna aircraft from the Caravan, Centurion, Conquest, Citation, and Sovereign series can accept the light as well. Aside from its benefits in ice management in flight, PWI notes the enhanced safety of light use during dusky or night operation during taxiing and takeoff.

“A lot of hard work went into designing and producing the PWI LED Ice Light,” said Robi Lorik, PWI CEO. “Getting it PMA certified makes a big difference to owners and pilots who are tired of the cost and downtime from constantly changing out bulbs. The PWI LED Ice Light is a no-compromise solution to overall safety and efficiency that saves money over the life of your aircraft.“The light is valuable to pilots not just for use in cold and icy weather situations, but also for the overall safety of the aircraft. This is peace of mind for pilots,” said Lorik.
