Military LED signal lights, specifically blackout lights, are engineered to meet stringent military performance photometry standards while offering a more cost-effective and integrated solution compared to traditional blackout lighting systems. These lights are particularly well-suited for light assault and military vehicles that are deployed to combat zones via helicopter, thanks to their compact form factor, reduced weight, and lower cost. Designed to endure the harshest battlefield environments, these blackout lights provide exceptional durability and long operational life.
In contrast to older blackout lights that were vulnerable to damage from impacts, explosions, or small arms fire, the modern integrated design offers improved protection and minimizes potential exposure to physical threats. The simplified, robust electronics inside these units also contribute to their virtually maintenance-free operation, ensuring reliability during critical missions.
These blackout lights are developed exclusively for military applications and are not kept in regular stock. They meet a range of military specifications and standards, including MIL-PRF-32212A, MIL-PRF-32214, MIL-PRF-32215A, and MIL-STD-461F for electromagnetic compatibility. Additionally, they comply with IP69K, providing superior protection against dust ingress and high-pressure water.
The lights operate on a 24V DC input, with an operating voltage range of 18 to 32V DC. They feature a low current draw of just 0.025 amps at 24V DC. Wiring includes a black ground wire and a red positive wire, and the electrical connection is facilitated by a Deutsch DT04-2P connector, with the corresponding mating connector being the DT06-2S.
Constructed with a round shape and flange mounting, each unit includes two #6 screws for secure installation. The outer lens is made from durable, clear polycarbonate, while the housing is composed of rugged black nylon. These lights function effectively across a wide temperature range, from a minimum of -40°C (-40°F) to a maximum of 85°C (185°F), making them highly resilient in extreme environmental conditions. Their reliability and toughness make them ideal for deployment in military and specialty vehicle applications.
