Lufthansa Technik and Schott Offer New Cabin Lighting System

At the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Lufthansa Technik and Schott presented a new development in cabin lighting systems for aircraft. For the first time, aircraft owners can take advantage of LED technology while avoiding the color changes that occur when LEDs age. The new Nicemood system, which has already been approved for use in aircraft, mixes and regulates the light output of different diodes, for what the developers call significant cost savings compared with traditional lighting and a dramatic improvement in lighting quality.

With classic LED systems, colors change over the life of the LEDs; the light they emit becomes uneven and can be perceived as unpleasant. Nicemood’s control system avoids this effect through sensor technology and a variable mixture of lights from different diodes.
