Abstract
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.
