New Lighting System Now Available for Hawker and Beechjet Models

Raytheon Aircraft Company announced that the LoPresti Boom Beam landing light system is now a factory option on the Hawker 800XP. In addition, the Boom Beam is now certified for aftermarket installation on the Beechjet 400 series aircraft. They are also available for all aftermarket propeller models, and Hawker 800 and 1000 aircraft direct through RAPID (Raytheon Aircraft Parts Inventory & Distribution).

“The LoPresti Boom Beam has been specifically customized to provide the best and brightest lighting solution for Beechcraft and Hawker aircraft” said John Wertz, Product Manager for the Boom Beam.

“This is a wonderful addition to the lighting product line which already includes the Bonanza, Baron and King Air.”

The original Hawker aircraft lighting system consists of two wing-mounted 450W landing lights, two wing-mounted 100W taxi lights and two nose-mounted 250W taxi lights. The LoPresti Boom Beam lighting system consists of two PAR 46 wing-mounted landing lights, two PAR 36 wing-mounted taxi lights and two PAR 36 nose-mounted taxi lights. Providing 60 percent more landing light illumination and almost five times more taxi light illumination at one fifth the power requirements, the system produces significantly more illumination with much lower power output. Using metal halide – Xenon high intensity discharge lighting system, Boom Beam lights produce a very white, natural light increasing night vision while providing a wider runway footprint. The Boom Beam system thus results in cooler burning lights and more efficient, safer operation.

"The Boom Beam will add increased functionality and safety in the cockpit," said Dennis Hildreth, Hawker Program Manager. The system works effectively with pulse controllers and TCAS or TAS systems, and is warranted to last five years or 5000 hours.
