Knots 2U, Ltd. of Burlington Wisconsin announces a new STC approval for a unique LED lighting system which operates from a standard 9 volt battery.  The system is designed to replace one or more inspection panels on the bottom of each wing with a new inspection panel and a battery operated LED light.  This LED will provide lighting around the aircraft for loading passengers or assisting in pre-flight inspections during night time operations.

LED technology has made it possible to provide ample light while maintaining a long battery life.  The benefit of this system compared to others is that the pilot does not have to turn on aircraft’s master switch during passenger loading and preflight inspections which can drain the aircraft’s electrical system and cause an unsafe situation with a “hot prop”.

The LED has been designed and tested specifically for aircraft applications where altitude and temperature fluctuations can destroy certain components of a standard LED.  The unit is also equipped with an indicator to assist the pilot in finding the switch in the dark.  A timing feature allows the operator to run the light for either 3 or 15 minutes after which time the unit will shut itself off.

The lights sell for $129.00 each and come with your choice of 5 different sized inspection panels. You may contact Knots 2U, Ltd. at 262 763 5100 or visit their web site at www.knots2u.com.
