1.0 INTRODUCTION:

This Technical Specification specifies the technical requirements of combing lights serve to
illuminate the various instruments and panels on the cockpit/dashboard. Light protrudes from the
panel and the bezel surrounds the instrument and illuminates the face of instrument it provides
sufficient illumination to make each instrument, switch, or other equipment necessary for safe
operation easily readable. In this specification, material and functional characteristics of the light
with environmental specifications are detailed.
