    摘要: A navigation light system for an unmanned aerial vehicle, such as a multicopter type unmanned aerial vehicle, includes: a plurality of light emission units. E of the plurality of light emission units has a unit-specific light emission direction and is configured to provide a light output around the unit-specific light emission direction. Each of the plurality of light emission units includes a multi-color light source capable of emitting red light, green light, and white light. The plurality of light emission units are arranged to jointly provide a navigation light pattern around the unmanned aerial vehicle and wherein the light outputs of adjacent light emission units have an overlap the navigation light system is configured to operate each of the plurality of light emission units depending on a relation between a momentary flight direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the respective unit-specific light emission direction.

    摘要: A lighting arrangement includes a light source configured for emitting light; a first reflector configured for collimating a first portion of the light emitted by the light source around a main light emission direction (D); and a second reflector arranged opposite to the light source. The second reflector is configured for reflecting a second portion of the light emitted by the light source back towards the light source for being diffusely reflected from the light source.

    摘要: An exterior aircraft light unit comprises a housing, at least one light source, and a heat sink. The heat sink includes at least one first heat sink portion and at least one second heat sink portion. The at least one light source is thermal connected with the at least one first heat sink portion for transferring heat from the at least one light source to the at least one first heat sink portion; and the at least one second heat sink portion is configured to be selectively attachable to the at least one first heat sink portion.
