Elliott Aviation subsidiary Prizm Aircraft Products comes to NBAA-BACE 2023 fresh from securing several deals, including its selection by Aviation Fabricators (AvFab) to provide RGBW wash lighting in its King Air 300-series headliner modification product. Another recent contract calls for Prizm to provide the ethernet interface between Cabin Management Solutions’ cabin management system (CMS) and Prizm’s cabin lighting system and for full Prizm RGBW lighting control through the Send Solutions AirText Oasis app. Finally, Collins Aerospace confirmed it will integrate Prizm cabin lighting control into its Venue software, allowing users to operate Prizm lighting entirely within the Venue app with its next software release in next year's second quarter.
For the AvFab contract, Prizm’s headliner mod gives life to dated interiors. According to the companies, the upgrade resembles the cabins in factory-new King Air 360s.  
“We’ve been hearing King Air owners complain about the rectangular fluorescent lights for years because of their propensity to break and the choppy look they give the headliner, especially when the lights aren’t in use,” said AvFab’s Hayden Lowe. “We initially thought we’d simply be providing customers with a smooth headliner that didn’t have unappealing boxes throughout the cabin, but we realized along the way that Prizm’s LED downwash lighting was a perfect fit and took the mod to the next level.”
AvFab expects to launch the product in November.
Separately, Prizm’s seamless ethernet interface between Cabin Management Solutions’ CMS and its own cabin lighting system came at the request of numerous dealers, said Prizm sales director Tim Lockerby.
The interface allows full control of the Prizm RGBW lighting via the Cabin Management Systems’ CMS app, ranging from white light to preset mood lighting. “It’s a seamless interface between the two systems featuring less wiring and a robust Ethernet interface,” explained Cabin Management Systems v-p of sales Dave Feuerhak.  
Prizm expects to have completed work on the integration in January and to finish its integration work on the AirText Oasis app that month as well. “Customers and dealers have been asking for this interface,” noted Lockerby. 
Allowing the Oasis app to control Prizm lighting gives owners and passengers a simple way to adjust cabin lighting to fit their needs without switching between apps for control.
“We are excited to now support full control of all the unique features and lightning options offered by Prizm,” said Send Solutions general manager Jonathan Pinson. “When combined with Prizm lighting, our Oasis Cabin Entertainment Router provides a seamless interface for customers to access cabin entertainment options, as well as control the lighting.”
