Aveo invented the world's first LED aircraft lights without external power supplies, then the first dual-mode LED visible and IR lights for defense aircraft. Today, with our own produced IR emitters, advanced thermal-management materials and in-house electronics, Aveo holds the major share in nearly every aerospace lighting sector. All tested by independent, EASA- and NATO-certified laboratories.

Aircraft Dual Mode Lights

Visible + IR

The first dual-mode lights in the world.

The first dual-mode visible and IR lights for defense aircraft, first delivered to General Atomics for its Predator UAVs, and unmatched since in performance, weight and drag.

  • We make our own IR emitters, more power, and the cleanest wavelength pattern anywhere.
  • Every fixture is fully NVIS, from landing and taxi down to the interior map and reading lights.
  • White and NVIS share a Aveo designed and produced single, dual, or quad-chip module.

Aircraft Mil-Spec Visible-Only Lights

Searchlights & more

Visible-only lights, and still fully NVIS-safe for crews on goggles.

For missions with no need for IR, the highest-performing visible lights Aveo builds, and still fully NVIS-compatible, so they never harm crews under night-vision gear.

Helicopter & Drone Custom Lighting Pods

360° lighting + cameras

Lighting and cameras, the whole way around the aircraft.

More than lighting: a comprehensive 360°-around and below solution that turns night into day, patented worldwide and unique to the helicopter world.

Aveo DroneV™ Lightweight Drone Lights

Lightweight drone lights

The world's smallest and lightest drone lights.

Sized for a drone's weight and power budget, yet several times brighter and longer-reaching than the category standard.

  • The 3-in-1 combines position, anti-collision and strobe in a single tiny unit.
  • The 4-in-1 adds a dedicated IR strobe for covert flight.
  • Strobe-only versions go smaller still.
