PWI Announces Poster Promotion with LED Retrofit
PWI, the pioneer in airplane interior lighting systems, has announced that they will grant owners an 18 x 24- inch poster of their King Air with the purchase of an LED Retrofit. (Owners will need to provide a high-quality photo for the poster.)
PWI’s line of LED cabin lighting retrofits are available for King Air 300, 200, 100, and 90 models. These retrofits are “plug ‘n play” style, so they are designed to be simply swapped out for the existing lighting fixtures and power supplies, removing the need to redo the interior or change harnesses. They also feature the up-to-100,000- hour lifespan, run cooler than the fluorescents, and almost never need replacing.
The poster promotion will run through March 31, 2018. For more information on the promotion or PWI’s LED lighting, call (316) 942-2811.
