FiberLites, by Superior Panel Technology, offers an innovative FAA approved instrument and label lighting system that uses fiber optics to evenly illuminate aircraft instruments with easily accessible, long lasting, LED light sources. Fiber-optics are affixed to specially designed bezels that are sandwiched between the instrument and the panel for appearance of an internally lighted instrument. The advantages of using FiberLites over other lighting devices are a) easier wiring, three LED light sources will light up all the instruments on most panels b) the LEDs are very long lasting, however, if they ever do need to be replaced, they are easily replaced without having to remove any instruments c) FiberLites provide even 360 degree lighting around the instrument, d) the instrument is not altered in any way e) FiberLites can be used to backlight printed labels.
The following items are included in the FiberLite package:
a) Three LED light sources with appropriate resistor (must specify 14 or 28V system).
b) Eight 3 1/8” instrument bezels
c) You can substitute TWO 2 ¼” inch bezels for each 3 1/8” inch instrument light. For example a package could consist of SIX 3 1/8” and FOUR 2 ¼” instrument lights. Bezels come in 3 sizes (3 1/8” standard with four screw holes (FL318), 3 1/8” with cut-out in corner that can be rotated either for a right or left hand cut-out (FL318CO) and the 2 ¼” bezel with four screw holes (FL214). Please specify the bezel sizes, and quantity and the voltage of the aircraft.
A solid state dimmer is needed to dim LEDs. Order Superior Panel Technology’s single circuit dimmer (PN11-00846). A great compliment to this product is the BattPack battery backup system.
