Systems and methods for disinfection of aircraft cabins, including galleys and lavatories. The embodiments may use UVC light sources having a wavelength between 200-230 nm for efficiently inactivating pathogens without harm to exposed mammalian skin or eyes.

Far-UVC, narrow-band of disinfecting light, used in aircraft cabin

A cabin furnishing element for a cabin, such as a cabin of an aircraft, includes a panel having a panel body. The panel body includes an illumination surface having an illumination zone, and defines a lighting recess within the panel body relative to the illumination surface. The panel also includes a lighting system having a light source assembly and a light guide. The light source assembly and light guide are retained within the lighting recess defined by the panel body. The lighting system is adapted to selectively illuminate a portion of the illumination zone.

Area light integrated in a cabin furnishing element

An aircraft lighting system includes a light unit configured to emit light, a portable measurement device, and a control unit. The portable measurement device is configured to measure at least one attribute of the light emitted from the light unit and output the measured attribute of the light in an output signal. The control unit is configured to receive the output signal and control the light unit based on the measured attribute. In some aspects, the light unit is positionable in an aircraft, in certain examples, a method of controlling a lighting system includes measuring at least one attribute of light of a light unit with a portable measurement device, transmitting the measured attribute to a control unit, and controlling the light unit based on the measured attribute. In some cases, the method includes measuring the at least one attribute of a light unit in an aircraft.

Aircraft lighting systems and methods

A cabin furnishing element () for a cabin, such as a cabin of an aircraft, includes a panel () having a panel body. The panel body includes an illumination surface () having an illumination zone (), and defines a lighting recess () within the panel body relative to the illumination surface (). The panel () also includes a lighting system () having a light source assembly () and a light guide (). The light source assembly () and light guide () are retained within the lighting recess () defined by the panel body. The lighting system () is adapted to selectively illuminate a portion of the illumination zone ().

An aircraft mirror assembly includes a light source, a front cover, and a light guide. The front cover is semi-transparent, the light source is arranged adjacent to an edge of the light guide, and the light guide is arranged adjacent to the front cover. In various aspects, the front cover includes an illumination zone, and, in an activated configuration, the light guide is configured to direct light from the light source to the illumination zone such that light is directed through the illumination zone. In certain aspects, the front cover includes an indicator, and, in an activated configuration, the light guide is configured to direct light from the light source to the indicator such that the indicator is activated. In various examples, the aircraft mirror assembly is provided with an aircraft cabin assembly positionable in a cabin of an aircraft.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a grey water flush system for use with vacuum toilets. One embodiment of the system provides a two-stage flush that uses a transient tank in between the toilet bowl and the main aircraft waste tank, which reduces the noise level associated with the flush process because a lesser vacuum is demanded for the first stage of the flush. Embodiments of the system further capture grey water from a sink basin in a reservoir and use that water in the toilet flush process. There is further provided a lavatory odor removal system option that is activated during the second stage of the flush.

The invention relates to a LED strip lighting device for a cabin of a passenger aircraft, the device comprising at least one LED strip, comprising a plurality of N independently controllable LED segments (S), wherein each LED segment (S) comprises at least four LED selected from red, green, blue, ice blue, warm white and cold white or another type of LED; a plurality of M driver units, wherein each LED section (S) is connected to a driver unit for providing a control signal to the respective LED section (S); and a bus system connecting all M driver units. The device further comprises a micro controller connected to the bus system for providing control signals for each driver unit, such that each LED segment (S) emits light in intensity and color according to a predetermined illumination pattern.
