Landing LED Lights

AveoMaxx™ & AveoMaxx 6in1™

 

AveoEngineering introduces the exclusive next-generation AveoMaxx™ landing/taxi/wigwag light module and the AveoMaxx 6 in 1™ embedded wingtip light solution (Landing-Taxi-WigWag-Nav-Position-Strobe).

Unlike all the "Brand X" LED landing light products out there, which are just a collection of commercial TIR lenses placed over some industry standard single LEDs, the AveoMaxx™ is the world's first ultra-high power LED landing light module, incorporating the amazing Aveo MaxiChip™ power and performance.

(to download brochure please click on the pictures below) (PDF files)

The AveoMaxx™ technology is based on a solid state light source that combines the benefits of both LED and laser technologies. A special lattice structure results in optimal surface emission from a nearly one square centimeter massive LED source - the result is uniform and incredible brightness over the entire LED chip face, exceeding 2250 lumens per chip. This optical power and brightness for the first time allows an LED-based light to replace arc and halogen lamps in applications like landing lights, where arrays of traditional LEDs cannot.

With an industry-leading lumen maintenance level of over 70% after 60,000 hours, and 100,000hour design operational life, these lights will far exceed the lifetime of the aircraft.


•AveoMaxx-2 configurations incorporates the internal custom optic RockyReflector™


•Taxi Light and WigWag function from the exclusive custom optics of a second proprietary RockyReflector™ module with 12 integral Hi-Power LEDs dedicated to these functions alone


•Integral custom PowerOptimizer™ supply and AveoSmartController™ circuitry eliminates bulky external strobe or power boxes as pioneered only by Aveo in all of its products for more than 3 years


•5 Options of heat pipe and heat sink integral to the housing for maximum operating efficiency


•For embedded wingtip installations, just add the AveoMaxx™ Premiere Nav/Strobe module (a derivative of the industry-leading Aveo E-series™ 3-in-1 light) to the pre-engineered mount and a PosiStrobeXP™ light to your tail and you have a complete and integrated light solution more advanced than most airliners


•For wing leading edge installations, the AveoMaxx™ modules are pre-engineered for easy stack mounting next to each other


•For inside-cowling or other location mounts, the AveoMaxx™ is an aerodynamically streamlined module that is versatile enough to be mounted in the optimum location for your particular aircraft.


•In the cockpit, simply add Aveo RockRack™ led-backlit custom icon rocker switches for the ultimate control of your entire aircraft lighting system, with specific icon switches to control all functions


•Featuring an adjustable tilt mounting system the AveoMaxx™ lights can be set to the optimal angles for your aircraft operating requirements with the simple turn of a screwdriver

Environmentally Friendly
The AveoMaxx™ uses far less power than competitive products illuminated by mercury-arc, high intensity discharge, or halogen lamps, which means they help to reduce air pollution from carbon emissions. Mercury and Lead-free, this RoHS compliant environmentally - friendly technology helps reduce power consumption and the amount of hazardous waste entering the environment. Finally, a "green" aircraft light!

The AveoFlash™ aircraft lights are patented designs, with unmatched technology and performance features that are finally available at affordable prices. This incredible series of lights incorporate the exclusive SmartStrobe™ synchronizer circuitry, which is integral to the lights, no external flash unit/strobe power unit is required.

Another unique and exclusive feature is the Aveo PowerOptimizer™ technology designed into the circuit board, it means less power consumption from even brighter lights. Furthermore the lights are universal input voltage, no need to order separate lights for different 14 volt or 28 volt aircraft. Custom shapes available upon request.

The FAA, EASA, and ICAO are very clear about the requirements for aircraft lights, not only in coverage, but also in brightness. 400 candela is a threshold that CANNOT be met by cheap lights made with a couple of LEDs in them.

Aveo lights have gone through full certification and independent laboratory and institute testing, and they exceed all requirements. They are also the most efficient LED lights in the industry. With the unique circuitry and digital strobe control, the Aveo lights have the lowest electrical amperage draw of any LED light that meets the certified requirements.

DON'T ENDANGER YOURSELF BY FLYING WITH WEAK, GARAGE-BUILT LED LIGHTS, THE REASON FOR THE RULES IS TO MAKE YOUR AIRCRAFT VISIBLE AND PREVENT ACCIDENTS.

BE SEEN, NOT SORRY™!
