C-130 LED Retractable Landing Light
Overview
Honeywell’s C-130 Retractable Landing Light (RLL) was designed for the U.S. government and foreign militaries operating the Lockheed C-130 turboprop military transport aircraft who need increased product performance, reliability, and reduced operating costs compared to legacy halogen lighting.
Honeywell’s Retractable Landing Light offers an outstanding 1000x increase in lamp life and a 66% reduction in power consumption, which also includes dual-mode infrared and visible lighting unlike similar offerings on the market.
How it Works
The pilot activates a cockpit switch to extend or retract the landing light. Motor and gearbox work together to extend or retract the RLL on both sides of the aircraft. When the unit is extended, the light is turned on and the light head extended into the airstream, providing light in front of the aircraft for landing or takeoff. When the unit is retracted, the light goes out and the unit is stowed.
