Pro Star Aviation, an authorized Embraer and Pilatus service center, has completed its first in-the-field installation of Whelen Aerospace Technologies’ Boom Beam HID taxi and landing light system on a Phenom 300 twinjet. 

“Partnering with Whelen Aerospace Technologies for the first in-field installation was effortless,” said Jeff Shaw, Pro Star's director of sales and marketing. “The increased brightness and the ability to aim the lights over the factory system enhances safety and situational awareness for our customers.”

According to the company, the patented NextGen Boom Beam HID lighting system increases system reliability and operational safety while reducing the aircraft’s electrical load. The package features dual HID light technology, all-new precision polished CNC housing, and a Whelen Aerospace Technologies 85-watt power supply. The installation can be performed in as little as one day and comes standard with a five-year/5,000-hour warranty.
