Who:
BB/E Aerospace is the leading manufacturer of cabin interior products for commercial aircraft and business jets, and a leading aftermarket distributor of aerospace fasteners.

What:
Full Spectrum Digital Mood Lighting system for passenger aircraft


How:
Powered by ChromacoreŽ technology, the Full Spectrum Digital Mood Lighting system generates both programmable, colored effects and general-purpose cabin lighting through microprocessor-controlled LEDs. B/E's extensive experience in aircraft lighting systems, cabin interior design and the certification process, coupled with Color Kinetics' proven technology and expertise in LED-based illumination, creates a commercial innovation that represents a viable alternative to conventional light sources. As a result, airlines can distinguish their cabin interiors with soothing, customized colors, color-changing effects, or general-purpose lighting that, according to testing, is on average twice as bright as traditional fluorescent systems -- all while exhibiting the efficiency and cost-saving benefits of LEDs.

Why:
"B/E Aerospace leveraged Color Kinetics' Chromacore technology to custom build a solution that integrates with the Boeing cabin management system and meets stringent domestic and foreign airworthiness certification requirements. This is a classic example of bringing together 'best in breed' - Color Kinetics' patented technology and B/E's aircraft lighting and certification expertise - to deliver a new experience to the flying public," said Rod Stoehr, Vice President and General Manager of B/E Aerospace.
