A light for an aircraft comprises a holder for carrying a first group of light emitting diodes arranged along a curvilinear line and a first reflector having an elliptic reflective partial surface defining a plurality of focal points forming a first curvilinear focal line coinciding with the light emitting sites of the first group of light emitting diodes and second focal point or curvilinear focal line. The light further includes a second optical unit comprising a single further focal point or curvilinear focal line that coincides with the second focal point or focal line of the first reflector. The light further includes a second group of light emitting diodes displaced axially with respect to the first light emitting diodes, which emit light that bypasses the second focal point or focal line of the first reflector of the first optical unit.

Light for an aircraft

The warning lamp for an aircraft is provided with a housing () which possesses a light permeable cover () that is exposed to the surrounding air when the housing is mounted on the aircraft, with a frontal cover area and a rear cover area, a mounting element () to fasten the cover to a lower part () of the housing (), wherein one edge () of the cover () is covered by an edge of the mounting element () and protrudes from it, a lamp with at least one LED (), which is arranged within an area that is covered by the cover (), and a cooling body () for the at least one LED (), wherein the cooling body () possesses a cooling surface () that is exposed to the surrounding air when the housing () is mounted on the aircraft. The frontal cover area is formed by a frontal cover element () which is made from a light permeable first material. The rear cover area is formed by a rear cover element (), which is made from a light permeable second material. The cooling body (), while separating the frontal cover element () from the rear cover element (), is arranged between them, wherein its cooling surface () is a part of the external contours of the cover () of the housing () that is given by the frontal and rear cover elements () and possesses an upper region () as well as adjacent, opposing side areas ().
