Aero Dynamix is the only NVIS provider who offers NVG Overlays for providing NVG compatible lighting to a group of instruments. This approach provides excellent, uniform NVG compatible lighting because the overlay projects light from 360° around each instrument. This is an excellent choice for providing NVG lighting to a cluster of instruments or an entire instrument panel if the aircraft has all analog instruments and gauges. Because light is dispersed in a 360° circle around each instrument using several lamps, dimming or shadowing is never a problem even if a lamp burns out. This is an ideal solution for instruments that have a high failure rate or require regular servicing or calibration because the unit remains in its original
OEM condition and can be replaced by any TC approved component to continue NVG operations while the original component is sent in for repair or servicing. There is never any concern about where to send a unit for repair or servicing. Since the unit remains in its original OEM condition, it can be sent to any OEM approved repair center.
Another advantage of this type of lighting is that the overlay can be laser etched to include text or placarding. The laser etched text is measured by a photometer to ensure that proper levels of evenly distributed lighting are maintained. Installation of overlay panels is quick and relatively non invasive to the instrument panel. No additional wiring is required because the overlay panel picks up power from an existing power source. Normally, all that is required to install an overlay panel is a connector mounted in the instrument panel and in some cases, attachment hardware. This method of providing NVG compatible lighting is always the first choice of Aero
Dynamix. This method is applied to all instruments, gauges and switches that do not require
internal modifications to meet all of the regulatory requirements for NVG compliance and the FAA.
