Whether in the air or on the ground, the aircraft external lighting plays a major role in ensuring flight safety as well as ground crew safety. With a 100% LED technology, Safran designs complete airplane and helicopter lighting systems combining robustness and longevity.
Longer life and reduced power consumption
More consistent lighting
High shock resistance
As an expert in LED technology, Safran provides complete lighting systems including all required functions: illumination of the runway & the taxiway used for takeoff, landing and taxiing, illumination of the aircraft and signalization (signal and anti-collision lights). These systems can also be used during inspection and maintenance, as well as emergency lighting.
Safran offers a full range of LED lighting for airplanes and helicopters: logo lights, white navigation lights, green RH navigation light, red LH navigation light, wing scan & engine lights, take-off taxi RTO light, landing light, red and white beacon anti-collision lights, dual IR & visible search and landing light.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
