XeVision XeTREME XV36-LED-7UN LED landing light versus competitors

 

 

Four major takeaways for you:

1. The performance of Xevision’s advanced line of LED aircraft external lights is unparalelled and way ahead of the competition
2. Center brightness of our par 36 type LED landing light is more than double that of the competitors
3. At a beam angle of 9º, the luminous intensity is still greater than the center beam brightness of our competitors lights
4. XeVision LED landing lights do not suffer from any thermal degradation as our competitor lights do, due to a highly efficient proprietary cooling design

Conclusion:
THE SUN IS OUR ONLY COMPETITOR

Please share your opinion and experience with your friends and interested audience.

High-definition XV36-LED-7EL LED taxi light


XeTREME™ LED taxi light

 

 

Proprietary XeTREME™ LED forward lights - Powerful - Efficient - Dependable

XeVision has introduced the XeTREME LED aircraft light series, a game-changer in aviation high-intensity LED landing and taxi light performance.

XeVision's proprietary active cooling design guarantees unparalleled sustained highest light performance and long component life.

The XV36-LED-7UN LED landing light generates an unmatched 320,000 cd of light at 100 W power input, more than double what competitors offer, and easily reaches 800m with a comfortable 9º beam angle.

The XV36-LED-7EL LED taxi light offers a wide uniform light pattern of 34º, allowing illumination on both sides of the aircraft taxiing path.

The combination of both lights provides an optimal benefits for ground and flight operation safety.

XeVision's proprietary strobe mode, XeStrobe™, is designed for better recognition and is a perfect solution to mitigate bird strikes.


 

 

 

 

Candles Luxes & Lumens, Oh My! How Light Is Measured on Aircraft

The established standards by which Landing lighting performance is measured.

Daniel Millican, publisher of "In The Hangar" interviews Dan Blumel about HID and LED light measurements after a local flight in Dan's Glasair at the XeVision business location. Take your time and watch this educational "In The HANGAR" episode.


 

Photometry of the XeTREME™ aircraft LED landing & LED taxi lights

The photometric evaluations of our LED landing light fixture and LED taxi light fixture were provided by an independent certified USA laboratory following the IESNA:LM-79-08 Test Procedures, Dec. 2020.

Test conditions:
Ambient temperature: 25ºC
Stabilization time: 35 minutes
Total operating time: 100 minutes
(Note: This means that data was recorded after 35 minutes of light fixture active at full power (100 watt).
(Competitors often record data shortly after only 1 minute of LED lamp powered ON, while the LED unit continues to reduce the light output due to thermal load)

Optical beam geometry definitions:
The beam angle is defined as full-width at half maximum or 50% of the maximum beam intensity.
The field angle is defined as the intensity at 10% of the maximum beam intensity. Light below that limit is defined as spill light.
