LHT Touts New Standard for LED Cabin Lights

A new European Standard for LED cabin lights is among recent tech breakthroughs Lufthansa Technik (LHT, Booth H71) is touting at EBACE 2019. The tech spec, DIN EN 4731, is aimed at fostering illumination commonality among next-generation interior systems. The issue: LED lights, unlike the fluorescent fixtures they often supplant, have highly individual light spectrums, generally determined by the manufacturers’ specifications. Cabin lighting systems with mood lights, for example, have an almost infinitely variable light spectrum. These variations affect the appearance of interior colors, among other impacts.
