LED Lighting Systems
We design and manufacture high-specification LED lighting systems for military and aerospace applications. Our solutions include external aircraft lighting, compartment lighting for submarines, and NVG-compatible military vehicle lighting. Products meet MIL-STD environmental requirements and offer retrofit options for legacy systems.
EMI Filters
Our EMI filters ensure electromagnetic compatibility in critical systems. We produce filter connectors, arrays, and modules that meet DEFSTAN and MIL-STD standards. These components are essential for maintaining signal integrity in defence and industrial electronics.
Electronic Components
We manufacture precision-machined connectors, panel indicators, and test points for harsh environments. Our components are used in rail, nuclear, and oil & gas industries where reliability is paramount. Products undergo rigorous electrical and environmental testing.
Aerospace Lighting
Our aerospace lighting includes landing lights for military and commercial aircraft. We supply complete external lighting suites for executive jets and retrofit solutions for legacy fleets. Products comply with FAA and EASA certification requirements.
Marine Lighting
We develop LED navigation and compartment lighting for naval vessels. Our systems are installed on aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines. Products meet Lloyds Register approval and DEFSTAN 59-411 standards for marine environments.
