Luma Technologies Receives EASA OK for King Air Annunciator Panels, Beechjet Coming Soon

Bellevue, Wash.-based Luma Technologies, which develops and builds retrofit LED annunciator panels for most Beech King Airs, received EASA certification for its LT-4500 series units for installation across seven different instrument panel sizes. Pricing for the STC ranges from $16,500 to $20,000, depending on the model of aircraft. Each panel carries a five-year warranty.

Luma Technologies (Booth C13302) also announced that it has both been awarded and subsequently fulfilled an order from the FAA for 20 LT-4500 series annunciator panels for the agency’s fleet of King Air Super 300s, which are used for the Flight Inspection Operations Group.

“We’ve worked hard to get our message out and gain acceptance in the King Air marketplace,” said company president Bruce Maxwell. “You just can’t get a better endorsement than having the FAA install the LT-4500 system across its B300 fleet.”

In other news, the company said it is on track for year-end STC approval for its LT-4400-series fully integrated 52-station master caution warning system for the Beechjet 400A/XP and 400T platforms. The primary benefits of Luma’s all-LED system are larger panel markings, fewer burned-out annunciators, less heat generation, half the weight and considerable cost savings over replacement with OEM parts, according to Maxwell.
