PWI Expands LED Ice Light Product Line with New Threaded Mount Version

PWI has expanded the already-PMA approved bayonet mount LED Ice Light product and is now offering a new PMA-approved version which features a threaded mount. 

This product illuminates the leading edge of the wing to aid in detecting ice formation. The light performance has received much positive feedback relating to light output and longevity.

Owner/operators have found that the aircraft bayonet light socket can be prone to corrosion. By removing the light socket entirely, the PWI Threaded LED Ice Light can be installed directly to the aircraft light bracket. The heavy threads on the base of the LED light secure it to the aircraft, and also allow for the installed light to be easily aimed at the cover window – a necessary step for any light replacement. Once the light is aimed, the supplied nuts and washers secure it to the aircraft. Connecting the two wires on the LED light to the two wires that formerly supplied power to the bayonet light socket completes the simple installation. 

The Threaded LED Ice Light is PMA-approved for several Beechcraft and Cessna products including the King Air 90 series, 100 series, 200 series and 300 series. The King Air can also replace aging ice light windows with the PWI PMA-approved Ice Light Window for a complete safety upgrade.

PWI continues to manufacture the bayonet mount LED Ice Light for those owner/operators who prefer to retain the original bulb light socket, as well as those who do not have a light socket with corrosion.
