PWI has introduced a new line of PMA-approved LED cabin lighting systems for the Cessna Citation 650 series, including the Citation III, VI, and VII models. The four new retrofit kits replace original fluorescent systems and are designed to simplify installation while delivering modern lighting performance.
Operating on 26 volts DC, the 4,000K neutral white LED kits replace both the upwash lights in the headliner and the downwash lighting above the windows on each side of the passenger cabin.
The LED systems are engineered to match the layout of the factory fluorescent fixtures, allowing original wiring to be reused. According to PWI, the premeasured and preassembled components minimize installation time and eliminate the need for ballasts.
“This latest LED cabin lighting system joins a dozen previously approved Citation systems,” said Robi Lorik, president and CEO of PWI. “Since 1963, PWI has created products made in the USA, using our own in-house engineering and production staff.”
The LED upgrade eliminates flicker, hum, slow starts in cold weather, and high-voltage power requirements. PWI stated that the lights are “instant-on,” silent, low-heat, and long-lasting.
PWI has previously introduced PMA-approved LED upgrades for other Citation cabin lights, including reading, wing inspection, and step lights. The company has long served as an OEM supplier of cabin lighting for aircraft from Dassault, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Cessna, Learjet, and Beechcraft.
