Commercial Aircraft
ApplicationThe greatest benefit of the Pulselite system is found on commercial aircraft.In the air everyday, in all weather and conditions visibility is key to safety. Airlines that pulse their lights exhibit a lower occurrence of near miss events.
Increase lamp-life up to 5 timesThe Pulselite allows the filament and bulb to run at a lower temperature. The bulb retains full rated candle power; less heat, less stress, more visibility. It's a win-win situation. If you're turning on your landing lights for visibility, you might as well get the best visual benefit and save on bulb replacements and maintenance.
Reduce the Likelihood of BirdstrikesIs there a means by which birds might better discern aircraft position and speed, so as to reduce collisions? We know that vision is a primary and highly developed sensory pathway in birds. Recent work has shown that light can be an effective tool as a repellent and, potentially, as an alert, especially when birdstrikes cost the international airline industry over $1.28 billion annually.

What Can Be Done to Make Your Aircraft More Visible to Birds?The Pulselite system provides an answer, making the aircraft more visible to avian wildlife. Airlines that have outfitted the Pulselite system to their fleet have experienced a 20% to 30% reduction or more to their birdstrike problem; that equates a minimum of $250 million dollars saved worldwide annually. |
