We always look to use the best components, sourcing most of our parts in the UK.  This linked with our onsite manufacturing facility means we can ensure the highest quality products possible.

  All lights are available in a range of different finishes, we can also produce custom finishes to suit the customer’s needs.

  

• Beadlight Technology

  Beadlight’s aids the seat designer in their application of LED and optic technologies. Including our patented “Beadlight diffusion” to create the finest LED illumination to read by. The diffusion system ensures the light is spread evenly and prevents glare.

  When designing aircraft interior lights we consider:

  • Light spread
  • Light intensity
  • LED colour temperature
  • Glare
  • Position of the lamp

  We ensure that the Airbus /Boeing qualification requirements are fulfilled as well as ensuring that light spillage is kept within the confines of the seat, to avoid disrupting fellow travellers.

  

• Compact Lights for Airline Cabin Interiors

  The compact cabin lights are designed to fit discreetly in to a seat or surface. When closed they sit completely flush in the panel. These interior lights are typically installed to a seat shell or a monument.

  The compact lights are operated by pressing a dimple on the light, this allows the light to open and then it can be pivoted from side to side so the user can direct the light where they require.

  These are perfect when you want to control the light spread reducing disruption to other passengers.

  

• Flexible Stem Lights for Airline Cabin Interiors

  Our flexible stem lights are designed to give the user the most freedom to control the position of the light. The lights are usually operated by a push switch on the lamp head and are available in a variety of different switching modes.

  The stems are strong and durable to ensure longevity of the products.

  These lights give the user the ultimate control to help make their environment as comfortable as possible.

  

• Aircraft Interior Lights Quality & Certification

  Beadlight, designs, engineers and manufactures aircraft interior lights to the appropriate Airbus & Boeing qualification standards prevailing at the time; the base documents being RTCA DO-160, D6-36440, ABD0100 and FAR 25.853.

  As part of the service, our Certification Engineers plan and manage the qualification testing process of each light model and work with clients to provide the relevant documentation for the project.

  Our airline cabin reading lights are often qualified by similarity to the tested model to offer airlines brand led customisation in the final specification of the light. Beadlight designs aircraft interior lights qualified for the Airbus and Boeing platforms these include A330, A340, B747, B767, B777 & B787.
