LED IR-Visible Landing & Search Light

The LED IR-Visible Landing and Search Light is a steerable helicopter light featuring a ‘dual-mode’ capability, including both visible LED and covert infrared LED modes, in a ready-to-use configuration, providing excellent and uncompromised performance in all operational environments.

Situational awareness and target identification are crucial elements for any mission and nighttime is a further challenge for helicopters engaged in NVIS mode operations and requiring illumination. Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology is the most reliable and delivers much better light intensity. However, using a bright, visible light for landing and search operations is not suitable for covert operations where a helicopter is aiming to remain undetected.

Using the LED IR-Visible Landing & Search Light, customers can benefit not only from unparalleled performance in each mode, but customers can also, most importantly, switch from visible mode to IR mode without any set-up, thus increasing mission readiness, flexibility and safety for the crew.
