Editor: webmaster Add Date: 2009-6-19
Honeywell announced on June 18, the company has with U.S. Airways (US Airways) to sign the contract,
the latter to update the navigation tip for the LED lighting (LED) technology. Honeywell's LED navigation
lighting tip length of time the existing halogen lighting technology, four times, dramatically reducing the
airline's maintenance costs.
Under the contract, Honeywell will provide the existing U.S. Airways Airbus 320 series aircraft navigation
lighting LED tip. With other lighting solutions. The existing lighting system to replace the simple (drop in
replacement) the characteristics of the process of making alternative without a change of aircraft, it
would not increase the additional weight.
Jeff, vice president of platform components. Johnston (Jeff Johnston), said: "Honeywell's LED lighting
technology update will tip the U.S. aircraft carrier during the period in significant cost savings. Unique in
the current business environment operators are doing everything possible way to save some money. As
the product easy to install, durable type to use Honeywell LED product updates all the aircraft to quickly
generate revenue for U.S. airlines. "
Honeywell products use solid state lighting as long as 20,000 hours, and the existing use of halogen
lighting technology, only about 500 hours of time. Improved reliability enables operators to reduce the
rate of replacement of the lighting, reducing the reserve space for product inventory, reduced labor
costs, which can be significant cost savings. If the failure of the lighting system, available on the market
of other LED lighting products that need to replace the entire product, while Honeywell's LED lighting
package with the replacement of modules, so no need to replace the entire product.
Honeywell has a leader in the field of LED technology, which has a number of technologies being used for
global consumer electronics applications, such as large-screen television, computers and other display
systems.
More than a decade, Honeywell's LED technology has been widely used in commercial and military
aircraft.
70 years, Honeywell has been configured for almost all fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft design and manufacture of lighting products and complete vision systems.
