Duncan Aviation's network of avionics shops and installation facilities is offering quick installation and flat-rate pricing on LoPresti Aviation's BoomBeam lighting systems. The two companies are collaborating on marketing the landing and taxi light products, which Duncan (C9125) said can be installed on customer's aircraft while ADS-B upgrades and other work is performed.

LoPresti Aviation's BoomBeams offer three to 15 times more light than factory systems, according to the company, and are FAA STC/PMA approved for more than 550 aircraft models. The BoomBeam systems enhance daytime conspicuity and safety at night, and feature reduced electrical loads and heat output when compared with factory lighting. Advantages also include reduced AOG downtime since there are no filaments to break and a lighting color temperature closer to natural daylight, LoPresti said.

“I am very excited to have Duncan Aviation's satellite shops on board and offering our lighting product,” David LoPresti, vice president of LoPresti Aviation, said. “Duncan Aviation's facilities in Lincoln [Nebraska] and Battle Creek [Michigan] have been installing our products for many years.”
