Ericson products have been used in the aerospace industry for years now and are trusted by a wide range of companies to provide lighting solutions whilst inspection, construction and maintenance tasks are carried out. In this blog post we're going to consider a few different lighting solutions that are used for building aircraft.

Ericson sells a wide range of LED lighting solutions, perfect for any industrial contractor, plant manager, plant engineer or safety director to integrate into their procedure on site when building aircraft. 

Handheld LED Lighting

This configuration is ideal for those tricky jobs where a more focused light source is required, and Ericson products are available in a few different designs for this very purpose. Our 910 series LED handlamp is available in both 200 and 360 degree beams and puts out an exceptional amount of bright light considering the size. It allows for hands-free operation, perfect for when you need both hands for a more complex task. 

LED Floodlights

For when a wider amount of lighting coverage is required, LED floodlights from Ericson such as the 1917/1918 series are perfect for the job. In a lightweight design that will be easy to move around your aircraft construction site, these floodlights can easily be fixed to any available mounting point for better vision. They're also impact-resistant and include a lens that can withstand high temperatures, so you can feel comfortable using these floodlights under even the most challenging conditions.

String Lights

Ericson string lights are a great choice when it comes to LED lighting solutions for building aircraft. Their design means the lights can easily be fixed along the entire length of the craft, and they come with a built-in hanger for easy installation. These lights also include heavy duty sockets, each of which can withstand up to 150 watts.
 
The Linear LED Tube String Light life in particular is an industry favorite and is used by many companies building aircraft to ensure complete visibility during the construction process. With a 50,000 hour lamp light, this durable LED lighting solution is ideal for situations where flexible handling and installation is required. They can easily be fitted to any area and offer complete versatility.
