Luma Technologies of Bellevue, Washington, is now offering retrofit of its Lumatech 4000 Series, an FAA-certified LED caution warning panel, for the Bell 206, 206L, and 412 helicopters.


The drop-in panels are designed to replace the incandescent OEM versions that have been standard on these Bell models since they first entered service in the 1960s and 1970s. Said Bruce Maxwell of Luma Technologies (Booth N4637). “This marks our first major offerings to the rotary market since our early days on FX AS350/355 performance kits. Now 206 and 412 operators can get immediate relief from ongoing lamp-outs, broken and intermittent cap assemblies, costly repairs, and a dwindling reserve of affordable spare parts.”


“The whole process takes less than two hours and is easily combined with other routine maintenance,” said Maxwell. Luma's new LED panel comes with a five-year warranty.


The Bell 206 and 412 panels also include Luma’s “goggle ready” design with FAA-approved “sunlight readable aviation colors” that do not adversely affect night-vision goggle performance. “This allows operators an affordable certification path, should they choose to configure the aircraft for dual-role capability or future NVIS [night vision imaging system] operations down the road,” Maxwell said.
