COCKPIT LIGHTING SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

General
The cockpit lighting system offers the crew the most suitable lighting
environment to carry out their mission. It allows the crew to easily see
all equipment details, inscriptions and indications, whatever the level of
darkness and in all flight conditions.
For this, the cockpit lighting system is composed of:
- the cockpit general illumination,
- the instrument and panel integral lighting,
- the annunciator light test and dimming.
A big improvement of the cockpit lighting system is the exclusive use
of Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology in order to improve the cockpit
lighting homogeneity. In addition, this technology increases the source
lifetime and reduces its thermal dissipation.

Cabin General Illumination
The cabin general illumination is composed of:
- the cabin decks general lighting,
- the spotlights,
- the staircase lighting.
Cabin Decks General Lighting
The cabin decks general lighting is composed of the Advanced
Illumination Ballast Units (AIBUs), each one is equipped with one
fluorescent tube supplying an advanced dimming capability (from
100 to 0.1%).
In baseline configuration, four light strips are installed in the upper
deck and six in the main deck. Each light strip can be separately and
zone wise scenario controlled.
Note that for light effects like mood lighting, the single ballast unit
can be replaced either by a double unit or by a hybrid unit with
red/green/blue Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
In all cases, the cabin decks general lighting is controlled from the
FAPs, the optional Additional Attendant Panels (AAPs) and the

Cabin General Illumination (continued)
Spotlights
The aim of the LED spotlights is to carry out light in cabin areas where
general lighting is not installed or where special attraction is desired,
like in entrances, cross aisles, and staircase areas. In fact the number
and the position of these spotlights depend on the customer's cabin
layout. They may participate in light scenarios and are dimmable like
the whole cabin general illumination.
The spotlights are controlled from the FAPs, the optional AAPs and
the optional mini FAPs through the CIDS network and tailored
interfaces called Spot Array Light Supply Adapters (SALSAs). Each
adapter can supply up to 12 spotlights in designated areas.
Note that a second type of spotlight with an identical appearance has
an integrated emergency light.

Staircase Lighting
The aim of the staircase lighting is to create a smooth transition from
upper deck to main deck light settings or scenarios.
The staircase lighting system is divided into the step illumination and
the ceiling illumination.
The step illumination is done by Understep LED LIghts (ULLIs),
which are installed below the footboard edge of each step and which
give sufficient illumination to the steps for safe use in all conditions.
Each staircase has one STair ELectrical Load Adapter (STELLA) to
supply the related ULLIs.
The cockpit staircase ceiling is illuminated by a short AIBU. In
standard configuration, the ceiling of the FWD and the AFT staircase
is lighted by spotlights, which are powered by SALSAs. Note that as
an option, it is possible to bring colored light into the FWD and the
AFT staircase ceiling using a COntour LED LIght (COLLI).
The staircase lighting system can be controlled from the FAPs, the
optional AAPs and the optional mini FAPs through the CIDS network.

Lavatory Lighting
General illumination in the lavatories is achieved by AIBUs with a
fluorescent tube installed on the ceiling. Additional LED lights are
installed for the mirrors and the wash tables.
In normal operation, the lavatory lighting level is predefined and depends
on the status of the door locking mechanism (OPEN, CLOSED,
LOCKED).
Moreover, it can also be switched on and off from the FAPs, the optional
AAPs and the optional mini FAPs through the CIDS network.
For cleaning and maintenance purpose, the lavatory lighting can be
switched to 100% brightness from outside the lavatory compartment.
This control is either centralized from the FAPs, the optional AAPs and
the optional mini FAPs or individual from the optional 100% light switch.
In all cases, the lavatory lighting is controlled through a specific adapter
called LAvatory Interface and Light Adapter (LAILA).

Emergency Spotlights
In baseline configuration LED spotlights are used in cross aisles,
staircase areas and entrances. Most of these spotlights are equipped
with integrated emergency LED lights to bring light out in these areas
when the emergency lighting system is activated manually or
automatically from the related activation devices via the EPSUs.

Staircase Emergency Lights
The staircase emergency lighting is integrated in the Understep LED
LIght (ULLI) and installed under each step in all staircases. Thus, each
ULLI strip contains two separate circuits for general and emergency
lighting.
For redundancy reasons, each ULLI emergency lighting circuit is supplied
by two EPSUs when a manual or an automatic activation is received from
the related activation devices.

Floor Path Marking System
The Floor Path Marking System (FPMS) will guide the passengers to the
next exit under smoke conditions.
The system is composed of
- the seat mounted floodlights for illumination of the main aisles,
- the wall mounted floodlights for illumination of areas in front of
monuments like galleys and lavatories,
- the edge mounted floodlights for illumination of areas in front of
monuments, used in narrow places where seat mounted floodlights do
not fit,
- the exit identifiers for illumination of door areas.
Each FPMS component uses LED technology and is powered for
redundancy reasons by two EPSUs when the emergency lighting system
is activated manually or automatically from the related activation devices.

Emergency Slide Lights & Emergency Door Lights
The escape slide LED lights, light the escape path on the wing in front
of doors 3, the escape slides and the areas in front of the slides when they
are deployed. The lights are integrated in the slides and are powered by
EPSUs when an automatic activation is received from the related
activation devices.
The emergency door light is integrated at the edge frame of each door 3
in the main deck to bring light onto the adjacent overwing area in order
to guide the passengers to the emergency slides. It is equipped with white
LEDs and is powered by the EPSU installed at the related door 3 when
an automatic activation is received from the related activation devices.

Cockpit Way Lights
When entering or going out the A/C with general lights in MAIN OFF
status, the flight crew can put the light on in the way to the cockpit or to
the exit door M1L with cockpit way lights.
These lights are composed of emergency ULLIs installed under each step
of the cockpit staircase and one emergency spotlight located above the
cockpit staircase.
They are temporarily battery powered from the EPSU at door M1L when
activation is received from one of the control switches located at the door
M1L and in the frame of the cockpit door.

Exit Signs
There are three kinds of signs for the exit, all equipped with LED
technology.
The exit location signs, which are visible from every point of the cabin,
are installed on the ceiling to indicate the position of the exit areas.
Moreover, the exit marking signs are installed right above the exits to
clearly indicate the position of the doors.
Additional exit signs are also necessary to guide passengers either from
the stairs or from the dead end of the FWD upper cabin deck to the first
available exit.
All exit signs are powered from EPSUs when the emergency lighting
system is activated manually or automatically from the related activation
devices.

Lights System Safety Items
When you work on the lights system, make sure that you obey all the
AMM safety precautions. This will prevent injury to persons and/or
damage to the A/C. Here is an overview of the main safety precautions
relative to the lights system.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps contain mercury. If an arc tube
breaks, it is possible that the operator absorbs some mercury through the
skin.
In consequence, always wear safety gloves.
HID lamps have very high temperature in working condition; 800C on
the outer bulb and 240C on the base.
To prevent burns, let the bulb cool down for three minutes after the
switching off and disconnection before removal.
HID lamps emit some UV rays.
Thus, as a precaution, always wear safety UV glasses because of sunburn
and conjunctivitis issues.
The capacitor in the electrical circuit of the strobe light can keep a high
voltage charge for some minutes.
In consequence, do not remove the strobe light for a minimum of ten
minutes after you de-energize the electrical circuit.
