Cumbria-based Oxley has developed low profile LED anti-collision lights for BAE Systems' HERTI pilot-less aircraft.
The Rotox 400 produces an effective intensity of greater than 400cd and its light output meets both JAR-23 and JAR-25 regulations.
"With a protruding height of less than 50mm and weighing less than 750g, the lights are designed to fit inside relatively small space envelopes and also boast low power consumption," said the firm. "The benefits of LED technology including high MTBF and low through-life maintenance costs."
The light complies with EMI requirements RTCA DO-160D and MIL-STD-461E.
Last year, Oxley supplied LED wing-tip and tail lights for the same unmanned air vehicle.
