Now FAA-PMA approved for both Part 23 and Part 25 category aircraft, the StarLight Wing Inspection Light is a high-performance LED solution specifically designed to enhance in-flight safety through improved wing illumination. Its primary function is to aid in the early detection of ice accumulation, a critical concern for pilots operating in low-visibility or adverse weather conditions. By delivering a significantly wider beam spread and higher lumen output than traditional inspection lights, the StarLight ensures comprehensive visual coverage of the aircraft’s wing surfaces.
Beyond its role in ice detection, the StarLight also contributes to improved overall aircraft visibility, making it easier for other pilots to recognize and avoid the aircraft, thereby supporting collision avoidance efforts. This dual-purpose functionality enhances situational awareness and operational safety during both day and night flights.
Engineered for convenience and efficiency, the StarLight serves as a direct LED drop-in replacement for a wide range of legacy wing inspection lights. Its compact form factor, weighing only 0.09 lbs and measuring 2.2 inches in length, 1.5 inches in width, and 1.1 inches in depth, allows for a seamless retrofit into existing aircraft configurations without structural modifications. Despite its compact size, the StarLight operates at a maximum power consumption of only 5 watts at 24V, with a current draw of just 0.18 amps at 28VDC—making it a highly energy-efficient lighting upgrade.
Whether for general aviation or commercial aircraft, the FAA-PMA certified StarLight Wing Inspection Light offers pilots a reliable, low-maintenance solution that significantly enhances safety, visibility, and operational readiness in all flight conditions.
