Thommen Aircraft Equipment

Trine Aero

THOMMEN AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT introduced a new Emergency Cabin

Flash Lights series.
Headquartered in Muttenz, Switzerland, Thommen Aircraft Equipment said that an
important part of flight safety is a quick airplane evacuation capability during emergency situations. At such times, quick and easy access to a highly reliable
flashlight is essential because it can save
the lives of both passengers and crew
alike.
According to the company, the
compact design of the Thommen
Emergency Cabin Flight Light is available in four mission-related profile colors, and a high resistance to environmental conditions including shock, vibration and
mechanical impact is assured by compliance with the DO-160G qualification test. The
product is water resistant to a depth of 3 meters (9.9 feet), and can withstand operational temperatures from minus 20 degrees Celsius up to 50 degrees Celsius and has
a white light output of 700 lumens.
"Thommen is honored to now include these Emergency Cabin Flash Lights in our
product portfolio, and we will have much more configurations in the future, since customers may request special color or lighting options," said STEPHANE JAQUIER,
chief executive officer of Thommen Aircraft Equipment. "It's a growing product family,
while providing a global market reach and long-term support to our overall strategy."
