Hoffman Engineering, based in Stamford, CT, has announced the recent FAA TSO authorization of their LED standard and dual mode aircraft navigation and position lights.  The standard lights are functional for daytime operations, while the dual-mode versions feature covert lighting for use with night vision devices during night operations.  The statement of conformance under TSO-C30c Type I, II, and III, includes both navigation and position lighting for civil and military fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

The newly designed and approved lighting applications offer superior lighting performance as well as long life LED lamps, lightweight characteristics and low power requirements.  Designed to MIL-L-6503, and meeting the requirements of SAE AS8037 and SAE ARP5825 (dual mode), these highly reliable and ruggedized navigation and position lights are available immediately. Original equipment aircraft external lighting can easily be replaced with the new Hoffman Engineering lighting equipment.

Hoffman Engineering offers an extensive line of internal and external aircraft lighting options and equipment for a multitude of applications for both civil and military aircraft applications.  Custom applications can also be developed by the company for specific customer requirements.

About Hoffman Engineering:

Formed in 1955 as Hoffman Engineering by J. Gordon Hoffman, the company first contemplated the support of photometric needs of the aircraft panel and instrumentation manufacturers located in the northeastern United States.  Hoffman Engineering has subsequently become a world leader in aerospace lighting research and development as well as night vision lighting and support.  Today the company is responsible for spectral testing, calibration of lamps, repair and calibration of photometric equipment for military and civil aircraft, ground support equipment, maritime applications, space flight vehicles and other high technology lighting applications. Among the many products designed and manufactured by Hoffman engineering are contact photometers, luminance targets, integrating spheres, laboratory power supplies and luminance standards. The Hoffman luminance source has become the industry standard for the calibration of photometric equipment in lighting laboratories around the world.  For additional information regarding the many products and services offered by Hoffman Engineering, please visit www.hoffmanengineering.com
