Modular led based aircraft rear position light

摘要

A rear position light-emitting diode (LED) light module (20) for use on an aircraft. The light module includes a single printed circuit board (PCB) (24), at least one light emitting diode (28) attached to a first surface of the PCB and a single reflector and baffle device (26) attached to the PCB. The single reflector and baffle device provides an illumination pattern having a predefined angular pattern in the first plane. The predefined angular pattern in the first plane is configured to provide an illumination pattern that does not overlap with light illuminated by port and starboard position lights of the aircraft. The single reflector and baffle device includes a base section (50) being planar, the base section comprises a cavity, first and second side sections (60-72) attached to a first surface of the base section on opposing sides of the cavity, the first and second side sections intersect the first plane but not the second plane and a plurality of snap fittings attached to a second side of the base section.
