The Oxley light provides a reduction of $1,000 per aircraft per annum* over sealed beam halogen units through reduced power consumption, a 100 fold increase in operational life and reduced maintenance cycles. The unit provides much greater consistency than halogen technology. It requires no aircraft modification and delivers the full optical power and beam pattern of the unit it replaces. The light doesn’t suffer degradation over time and has an MTBF of 23,000 hours, the unit is repairable with a replaceable lens and provides a peak intensity of 600,000 cd.
Oxley has many years of experience in developing LED lighting systems for aerospace applications. The team is extending the proficiency developed through significant work in the military market into the commercial aerospace sector to deliver a wide range of high performance LED aircraft lighting.Oxley is presently undergoing EASA Part 21G approval for the manufacturing of parts for aircraft use.
