We are now Certified (used a documented certified lab) for DO-160E testing standards. We exceeded the requirements by quite a margin. DO-160E includes a noise standard for both conducted and radiated emissions among other things. We had to do this testing for EuroCopter among others, their std was even stricter than DO-160E. We did both our 50 watt 12 and 24 VDC and our newer (1-year old) 75 watt 12 and 24VDC HID systems. So a total of 4 systems were passed.
Regarding HID ballast output cables needing to be shielded.
Our XeVision cables from Ballast to Bulb are shielded. In fact they are "double" shielded, both a foil and braided shield under the outer cable jacket (outer insulation layer). The cables also tie the bulb shielding (metal box around the igniter) and the ballast case all together. There is continuity in the shielding from the bulb (igniter box and metal parabolic reflector) to the ballast, not just the cable is shielded.
We passed all 4 models (systems) on the first try because we had the test equipment "in house" to prove we were ready to ourselves before we went to the certified lab and spent the big bucks.
We also received our Patent on Nov, 10, 2009 for our integrated Pulsing system warm-up for wigwag IP.

_________________ LED still has a long way to go to compete with HID as a landing light. This is true in terms of total lumens and reach (distance). |
