Instrument Panel Overlays

Aero Dynamix is the only Aircraft lighting company that offers

integrally lit Instrument Panel Overlays that provide NVG compatible
lighting to a group of instruments. This approach provides excellent,
uniform NVG compatible lighting because the overlay projects light
from 360° around each instrument. Overlays provide NVG lighting to
a cluster of instruments or an entire instrument panel if the aircraft
has all analog instruments and gauges. Because light is dispersed in
a 360° circle around each instrument using several lamps, dimming
or shadowing is never a problem even if a lamp burns out. This
method is applicable to all instruments, gauges and switches that
do not require internal modi cations to meet FAA regulatory
requirements for NVG compliance.

Instrument Panel Overlays are an ideal solution for instruments that

have high failure rates or require regular servicing or calibration. The
instrument remains in its original OEM condition and can thus be
replaced by any TC approved component to continue NVG
operations while the original component is sent off for repair or
servicing. And since the unit remains in its original OEM condition, it
can be sent to any OEM approved repair center.

Another advantage of this type of lighting is that the Instrument

Panel Overlay can be laser etched to include text or placarding. The
laser etched text is measured by a photometer to ensure that proper
levels of evenly distributed lighting are maintained. Installation of
overlay panels is quick and relatively non invasive to the instrument
panel. No additional wiring is required because the overlay panel
picks up power from an existing power source. Normally, all that is
required to install an overlay panel is a connector mounted in the
instrument panel and in some cases, attachment hardware.

The overall cost effectiveness along with excellent NVG lighting

characteristics make overlays a preferred NVG compatible lighting
solution for Aero Dynamix.
