Lighting Up Night Flights
Filed in archive Aviation Products by Beverly Durfee on September 4, 2006
Take a look at this great little Flashlight designed to make night flying safer. The maker says the light will clip effectively to 90 percent of the headsets on the market and they are continuing to test and make adjustments for the other 10 percent.

FLITELite™ is a highly efficient LED flashlight that snaps on to your headset microphone. More than just a flashlight, it is a lighting system with advanced microcomputer technology. Comprised of three main components - A specific adapter for your headset, a three LED light unit with an infrared proximity switch controlled with a touch of your lip, and AAA battery pack good for 200 hours of continuous use. The kit comes complete with batteries and other accessories. FLITELite takes only minutes to install.

The LED light unit is controlled with a proximity sensor. Touch it with your lip to turn on three lights, twice for one light, and three times for off. FLITELite will auto off after one minute, and shut itself off in bright light.

Our soft white LED's will not interfere with night vision. The full spectrum light and low reflection reduces the amount of light needed. Under red light, magenta symbols disappear on charts, and during electrical failures, red markings on instruments and gauges are unreadable. Blue/Green light is not safe for preflight, or over wing lighting since it makes Blue 100LL fuel disappear. Since FLITELite™ uses a full spectrum soft white light, you do not experience these potentially dangerous side affects.
