An infrared LASER diode based high intensity light ( ) for use as an aircraft landing light or searchlight in conjunction with night vision imaging systems. The high intensity light ( ) uses infrared LASER diodes ( ) installed into a heat sink ( ) for temperature stability. The infrared light emitted from the LASER diodes ( ) is transmitted to an optical positioning plate ( ) by optical transmission means ( ). The optical positioning plate ( ) combines the emissions of the individual LASER diodes ( ) to a single infrared light beam, which is collimated by an aspheric lens ( ).

IR laser diode based high intensity light

A high intensity discharge lamp (HID) ( ) includes an electrically powered lamp ( ) having a lamp exterior ( ) and at least one lead ( ) extending outside of the lamp. An electrical interface ( ) includes a male connector ( ) fastened at its base ( ) to one of the leads ( ), an insulate housing ( ) having an inner contour ( ) shaped to fittedly encompass therein the male connector and at least a portion of the lead, and a cement contact ( ) that fastens the housing to the lamp exterior without air gaps. A boot ( ) hermetically seals the insulate housing. A female connector ( ) is mated to the male connector within the boot, and a feed line ( ) having an insulating cover ( ) is electrically connected at one end to the female connector and to a power source at the other end.

High intensity discharge lamp and a method of interconnecting a high intensity discharge lamp

An infrared aircraft light ( ) for use with night-vision imaging equipment as an anticollision light. The light uses infrared light sources ( ) coupled to a fiber optic cable ( ). The infrared light sources ( ) are regularly switched on and off by control electronics ( ) to generate bursts of infrared light, aiding the prevention of collisions between covert aircraft. The fiber optic cable ( ) distributes the infrared light to create a band of light for improved visibility.

Infrared fiber optic light

An LED strobe light is disclosed. The strobe light ( ) uses light emitting diodes ( ) arranged about the circumference of an electrically insulative, thermally conductive disk ( ) to form an LED light ring ( ). LED Light rings ( ) may be stacked as desired, with electrically conductive rings ( ) placed between light rings ( ). A control circuit ( ) conditions voltage and current to a level with the LEDs and regulates the on-off timing of the LEDs.
