摘要:
A light for an aircraft comprises a holder for carrying a plurality of light emitting diodes arranged along a curvilinear line and a first optical unit comprising an elliptic reflective partial surface defining a plurality of focal points forming a first curvilinear focal line extending along the light emitting sites of the light emitting diodes, and a plurality of second focal points. The light further includes a second optical unit comprising a single further focal point or a plurality of further focal points forming a further curvilinear focal line. The plurality of the second focal points of the first optical unit coincide and are identical to the single further focal point of the second optical unit or are located along the further curvilinear focal line of the second optical unit.

A light for an aircraft comprises a holder for carrying a first group of light emitting diodes arranged along a curvilinear line and a first reflector having an elliptic reflective partial surface defining a plurality of focal points forming a first curvilinear focal line coinciding with the light emitting sites of the first group of light emitting diodes and second focal point or curvilinear focal line. The light further includes a second optical unit comprising a single further focal point or curvilinear focal line that coincides with the second focal point or focal line of the first reflector. The light further includes a second group of light emitting diodes displaced axially with respect to the first light emitting diodes, which emit light that bypasses the second focal point or focal line of the first reflector of the first optical unit.

An aircraft light consists of a housing containing a light source, a heat sink element forming at least part of the exterior surface of the housing and an auxiliary thermal capacitor that is thermally decoupled from the heat sink element. A thermally expandable medium is coupled to the heat sink element and operates to thermally decouple the light source from the heat sink element and thermally couple the light source to the auxiliary thermal capacitor and vice versa, depending on the actual temperature of the heat sink element.

An aircraft light for emitting light in a desired spatial angular region and with a desired light distribution, comprises a reflector having an upper reflector portion and a lower reflector portion both being symmetrical to a plane. A first row of LEDs are face away from the reflector. A second row of LEDs face towards the reflector. Each of the upper and lower portions of the reflector comprises first, second, and third reflective surfaces with the first reflective surface being convexly shaped, the second reflective surface being substantially flat, and the third reflective surface being partially parabolically shaped.

The device for generating a cooling air flow in a preferential flow direction for cooling electrical components, particularly LEDs, comprises a first and a second channel wall (34,36) having mutually confronting inner sides, and an oscillation drive means (42) for generating an oscillating movement of at least a partial region (38) of at least one of said channel walls (34,36) in the direction toward the other channel wall and away therefrom. The inner side of at least one of said two channel walls (34,36) has a surface structure (30) designed for anisotropic flow, which has a smaller flow resistance coefficient in the preferential flow direction (28) than in a direction extending at an angle to the preferential flow direction (28) and particularly in a direction extending opposite to the preferential flow direction (28).
摘要:
A method for controlling an aircraft having a plurality of LEDs, light so as to emit a desired light intensity includes the steps of providing a reference LED located within or outside of the aircraft light, providing thermal conditions resulting in a thermal stress for the reference LED similar to the maximum thermal stress, and observing the reference LED by means of an optical sensor for monitoring the optical aging behavior of the reference LED throughout its lifetime. The desired light intensity of the aircraft light is achieved by controlling the plurality of LEDs in accordance with the monitored aging behavior of the reference LED.
