Financial Analysis of an Illumination Retrofit for Regional Aircraft

The light-emitting diode (LED) is the main lighting solution currently adopted in aircraft cabin lighting. This technology offers high durability, energy efficiency and luminosity, bringing plenty of benefits for being utilized an aircraft. Despite its initial price, it has many advantages, operational cost lower than other types illumination, such as fluorescent lamps. Additionally, LED illumination may improve flight experience, making more comfortable pleasant passengers. Aircraft that have lamps their should consider possibility to make retrofit lamps, because weight directly correlated fuel consumption costs economy can bring new improvements objective this work evaluate economic viability system installation compared with a regional study data shows usage lights could save up 68% month conventional ceiling reduce by 38% monthly illumination. payback period 4.2 years according proposed system.
