The 722-1232-001 meets all photopic requirements for the existing ANSI 1680 Lamp and as a solid state LED solution, it provides excellent shock and vibration resistance eliminating the failures that are commonly seen with incandescent lamps. The LED Tail Light is one of several Lighting Solutions Hoffman has developed for the F-15 Program. If you would like more information on this product or additional F-15 LED lighting solutions please contact a Hoffman representative.

The LED sources are filtered for NVIS White IAW MIL-STD-3009, providing excellent color rendering and superior IR suppression. They are lightweight and use a minimum behind panel clearance making them useful in a multitude of applications. The lights can be mated to our 723-1211-1000 and 2000 series of potentiometers where dimming is desired. While this model is a 28VDC application, alternative voltages can be provided at the request of the user.

Constructed of rugged black anodized aluminium, the unit is engineered to withstand the rigorous environments of air, land and sea applications.

Along with mounting holes designed into the case for hard mounting, a magnetic base is built into the unit making it especially useful for maintenance or mobile operations as it can be mounted to virtually any metal surface. Featuring digital controls for On/Off and dimming, it makes use of the light easy even with gloved hands.

This highly versatile instrument panel floodlight may be used as a renewable substitute for light-sticks. While many aircraft crewstations are awaiting full NVIS modifications, NVG missions must be flown in a safe lighting environment. Hoffman’s portable floodlight is a MIL-STD-3009 compliant substitute for single use light-sticks. The lightweight power-pack contains four “AA” batteries and a potentiometer, which provides full dimming to zero with a tactile “off” position to preserve battery life. Following NVG missions, the pair may be taken from the aircraft and stored for future use. The light is available in compliant Green A or NVIS White.

Many older aircraft utilize dual purpose, two lamp light fixtures for general area illumination. These fixtures contain both red and unfiltered white lamps. Most are S-8 305 or 307 types with 307R or 311R in the red position. The red was used for night operations. Today much of that work is accomplished while wearing, or near those wearing, Night Vision Goggles (NVG). These goggles will not tolerate red light. Now the user can substitute the 723-1244-001 for the red lamp, making the light fixture NVG compatible without rewiring or adding a switch to the aircraft. Some users have opted to also replace the white lamp with our 721-1185-001 (NSN 6250-01-549-4683) for greater light, longer life and less current.

The light has been qualified to virtually every MIL-STD 810 Environmental Test in addition to MIL-STD-461E EMI requirements. The lights are currently in service in extremely harsh environments. The LED source is filtered for NVIS White IAW MIL-STD-3009. The white color allows for excellent color rendering in applications where map or label reading may be required. At the same time, the IR signature is well below Specification limits. In addition, the LED sources provide the user with all of the benefits typically derived from these long life, light weight, low current light sources.
