STG Aerospace has launched the first product in its Universal Lighting Family, the Curve.
The product is an LED Flex light that provides seamless lighting whilst remaining adaptable to multiple installations and applications and offers a compact, versatile solution that meets the challenges this presents. The product was shortlisted for a Crystal Cabin Award.
STG Aerospace says that, whether working on a Business Class seat, an Economy Class cabin, a large galley or a Business Aviation space, designers need light that enhances customer experience. The Curve can be used throughout the aircraft to provide different results, and it can be installed in wet areas too. The product can build layers of ambience in cabins where fixed, linear lights no longer meet the geometric requirement or aesthetic standard.
When it comes to light output, The Curve can be split into individually addressable segments. Each segment’s colour, transition and intensity is controlled independently, with the choice of 16 million colours, and there is freedom to design a highly bespoke ambience within the cabin – from the Northern Lights effect swirling over a bar front or a pulsing light in a footwell.
According to STG, The Curve provides this vibrant, animated lighting within a slimline, flexible structure that can shape around the bends found in forms of cabin geometry.
Pierre Michard, Sales and Programmes Director at STG, said: “We are extremely excited to be launching The Curve at AIX 2023. It’s the first product to join our highly anticipated Universal Lighting Family and we know our customers will be impressed with how The Curve solves the lighting challenges the industry is facing. In fact, it has already been selected for an OEM application on a widebody platform.
“The section addressable output, combined with its small form, discrete design language and market’s tightest bend radius, makes it an ideal choice for OEMs and integrators to create unique passenger experiences throughout the cabin.”
Natalie Rodriguez, VVIP Aircraft Interior Designer, said: “The Curve’s potential uses in VVIP cabins are numerous with its physical and functional flexibility, as well as its smaller scale footprint. Love how multiple mood lighting effects are achievable in a single strip through sections – perfect for ambience customisation.”
