An evacuation slide including a sliding face having a top end portion adapted to be positioned adjacent to an exit of a region to be evacuated, and a bottom end portion adapted to be positioned adjacent to an escape route leading away from the region to be evacuated and being arranged at a lower height than the region to be evacuated. A light signal generating device is adapted to generate a light signal which illuminates the bottom end portion of the sliding face.

Evacuation slide comprising a lighting system

An evacuation slide comprises a sliding face having a top end portion adapted to be positioned adjacent to an exit of a region to be evacuated, and a bottom end portion adapted to be positioned adjacent to an escape route leading away from, and at a lower height, than the region. The sliding face, at the top end portion, comprises a flat porch section connected to an inclined section of the sliding face via a transition section. The sliding face has at least one of a first guidance marking placed in the flat porch section and having a shape and orientation adapted indicate a predefined evacuation direction in the inclined section of the sliding face and a second guidance marking placed in the transition section and having a shape and orientation adapted to indicate a separation between the flat porch section and the inclined section.

An evacuation slide comprises a sliding face having a top end portion adapted to be positioned adjacent to an exit of a region to be evacuated, and a bottom end portion adapted to be positioned adjacent to an escape route leading away from the region to be evacuated and being arranged at a lower height than the region to be evacuated. A light signal generating device is adapted to irradiate at least one light beam onto the escape route which extends further in a direction parallel to a center line of the escape route than in a direction perpendicular to the center line of the escape route so as to indicate a predefined evacuation direction along the escape route.

An aircraft cabin panel includes an aircraft cabin lighting seamlessly integrated with the panel. The aircraft cabin lighting includes at least one light emitting diode or LED and a diffuser. The diffuser includes a first body with a first index of refraction and a plurality of second bodies which are arranged in the first body and having a second index of refraction.

Aircraft light source with at least one light-emitting diode and a diffuser

The present invention relates to an illumination strip for illuminating a handrail recess that itself at the same time forms a handrail; to a hatrack for installation in an aircraft cabin with a correspondingly designed handrail recess that at least in sections can be illuminated; as well as to the use of an illumination strip or a hatrack in an aircraft. The illumination strip comprises a carrier module for accommodating the illumination unit and illumination units accommodated by the carrier module. The carrier module is strip shaped and includes a positive locking member to secure the carrier module of the illumination strip into the handrail in an exchangeable manner.

Illumination in the area of aircraft cabins

A lighting element has a light emitting diode that is installed in a light carrier. The lighting element has a light guide element that is optically coupled to the light emitting diode and the light guide element has a smaller light exit surface than the light emitting diode. With a plurality of such lighting elements it is possible to embody an effect lighting configuration for example in an aircraft cabin.

Lighting element with a light emitting diode

A reading lamp for an aircraft cabin, particularly installed above a passenger seat, has a light source emitting a light beam with an optical axis extending substantially horizontally so that a light beam can be deflected by an optical deflector such as a mirror, to a passenger seat. This orientation of the light source provides a compact construction of the reading lamp. Preferably the deflector position is adjustable relative to the optical axis.
