09776735 · 2017-10-03 · ·

A light configured to be coupled to a surface, where the light includes a light source configured to emit light in three dimensions and a lens configured to direct a majority of the light emitted by the light source outwardly from the light source in directions along the surface. The light may be an anti collision light for an aircraft.

HYBRID HEADLIGHT FOR AIRCRAFT
20170275021 · 2017-09-28 · ·

This beam shaper for an aircraft headlight comprises a light input surface (3) and a light output surface (6), the output surface comprises prism-shaped areas so as to deflect a light beam transmitted between the light input surface and output surface by guiding the beam in two directions (D1, D2) which are oblique relative to an optical axis (A) of the beam shaper.
