Lufthansa Technik and SCHOTT plan to cooperate on cabin lighting

Lufthansa Technik and SCHOTT plan to work together more closely on cabin lighting for passenger planes. A contract to this effect is to be signed very shortly. Conceived to be a "one-stop shop" strategy, the collaboration will cover the entire process chain, ranging from the design of lighting to manufacturing, installation and approvals, but also service over the course of the entire product lifecycle. Lufthansa Technik will concentrate on the area of lighting control, approval and validation and provide installation, maintenance, repair and upkeep services. SCHOTT Lighting and Imaging will be contributing its expertise and experience in the area of lighting systems. The first product that the two firms are working on together is a unique new lighting technology. The combination of glass elements and light diodes culminates in an efficient light source that helps lower maintenance costs and extends the service life. This technology is designed for use in mood lighting scenarios that rely on the entire color spectrum, but also for purely white cabin lighting. Lufthansa Technik and SCHOTT are currently preparing a joint market and brand appearance for the products that they are working on together.
