Interface’s LED position light installation set for
helicopters consists of either five or three lights:
red on the left side of the aircraft, green on the right
side, and white on the tail. Designed for use on
both fixed wing and rotary aircraft, this covert/overt
light set is a form, fit, and function replacement for
existing incandescent light sets. The design utilizes
the single wire connection and footprint of the
current installation, and decodes the covert/overt
signal from the crew station switch. Utilizing LED
technology provides a higher MTBF of 50,000
hours and low-maintenance operation.

Tail Light
Covert/Overt Anti-Collision Beacon Light
This light is an integrated visible/IR light utilizing
LED technology that replaces the existing rotating
beacon and IR ring on a helicopter. The unit
provides a universal mounting ring that supports
multiple aircraft versions. The LED technology
provides an MTBF of over 25,000 hours and no
moving parts to wear out. In the visible/overt mode,
the light is a normal red flashing anti-collision light
that is also NVIS-friendly in accordance with
MIL-STD-3009. In IR/covert mode, the lights are
only visible with Gen III night vision goggles.
