Luma Technologies (Booth 7451) is showcasing this week at Heli-Expo 2020 its recently introduced LED upgrade suite for the UH-60 and S-70 platforms, along with other products from its array of LED caution warning panels and displays.&nbsp;

 


The new upgrade is a three-unit package including the primary 82-station caution advisory panel complemented by a pair of drop-in replacements for the six-station clusters of primary warning lights and master caution reset switch linked to the main panel. Installation of the package, expected to receive STC approval in the second quarter, requires less than two hours, according to Luma.&nbsp;

 


The six-pack clusters are available in the traditional 5+1 format or Luma’s optional ”big button” version, featuring a larger and more ergonomic center reset button.

 


Additional products on display from the Bellevue, Washington company include LED replacement panels and master reset switches for the Bell 206/206L and 412, along with master caution panels for the CH-47D and BK-117, and other platforms. All Luma’s panels feature FAA-approved sunlight-readable, night-vision-goggle-ready lighting.
