FLITELite GEN II

FLITELite GEN II Dual Sensor Pilot Light. The New GEN II is 30% smaller, and more efficient than GEN One. The new verison was developed to meet MIL-STD-3009, for Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS) aircrew auxillary and utlity lighting. This light is also perfect for the General Aviaiton Cockpit.

MIL-STD-3009 specifies NVIS 'White', a cool, full spectrum color that has a slight green tint to it, but still allows the aircrew to see all colors. Many military and civilian aircrew that fly with Bose, David Clark, or Lightspeed headsets will appreciate the custom fit of the FLITELite adapter system.

GEN II accomodates pilots with headsets with shorter booms with incorporation of an 11 degree light angle. Longer booms can easily put the light in the proper postion, now shorter booms can as well.

The rear sensor controls on and off functions, with a simple touch of the lip, the light turns on or off. Battery life is protected by a computer controlled sixty minute auto-off. The front sensor drives the brightness of the light. Touching the front sensor places the light to min bright to protect night vision, then slowly cycles to full bright. The computer places this brightness setting into memory, and recalls the lighting level the next time the light is turned on. Removing battery power clears the light memory. The light is filtered through a special (and expensive) NVIS filter material on Night Vision Goggle compatible versions, and through a non-glare filter on Blue, Red, Green, and Soft-White verisons.
