Honeywell has signed an $80 million contract to supply LED navigation lights to the Airbus A320 family of aircraft. Honeywell has signed a contract with Airbus valued in excess of $80 million to upgrade the navigation wingtip lighting on the A320 to LED technology. According to Honeywell, LED lighting lasts more than 40 times longer than current halogen technology, resulting in significant lower maintenance costs for airline operators.
Honeywells lighting technology upgrade will be incorporated into the Airbus production line in March 2009 for all forward-fit A320 aircraft. This 30-year contract covers approximately 5,000 forward-fit production and fielded aircraft in the A320 family including A318, A319, A320 and A321 .
The technology upgrade covers the forward navigation lights located inside the wingtip that provide recognition lighting in the air, as well as situational awareness lighting on the ground.
Honeywells solid-state lighting has a much longer life -- up to 20,000 hours before replacement -- than existing halogen lights that have an end of life of about 500 hours. This improved reliability results in substantial savings for operators in fewer lamp changes, lower Spares inventory and lower labor costs.
Honeywell claims to have pioneered technology advances in the field of LEDs, many of which are now being applied in consumer electronics applications such as large screen TVs, computers, and other display systems around the world. Honeywells LED technology has been used for commercial and military Plans for more than a decade.
Honeywells LED technology upgrade for wingtip lighting offers significant cost-savings for operators -- up to $30,000 per aircraft, said Jeff Johnston, Vice President of Platform Components. The longer life of the LED, plus the ease of installation, keeps the aircraft out of The maintenance shop and in the air, where it belongs.
Honeywells upgraded lighting technology will be available for retrofit for existing airline operators on A320 aircraft beginning in April 2009. The drop-in replacement for the existing lighting does not require any aircraft modification.

Tuning Fork Level Switch

The tuning fork level switch is also often referred to as the tuning fork level meter or the tuning fork level controller, mainly because the tuning fork level meter appears in different links in industrial production, and actually plays different key roles, so people are habitual called many different names. Tuning fork level switch is a kind of level switch. It mainly uses the resonance principle of tuning fork to measure the level state. Its unique fork body design and its inherent vibration characteristics can ensure the automatic cleaning function of the tuning fork and prevent material hanging to the greatest extent.
