Aviation Lights & Pods

LED navigation, landing, search and mission lighting for civil and military aircraft.

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 at night with Aveo landing lights

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.

It mounts two ways, slide-on via MeekerMount™, or as a drop-in belly-panel replacement.

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.
