Reach for the stars: Star Ceiling

With help from the SCHOTT® HelioBasic II LED light source, cabin designers can create an on-board Star Ceiling, which replicates a stunning clear night sky as passengers look up from their seats. Each light source powers a SCHOTT® HelioFlex harness of up to 30 individual fiber optic light cables that sparkle gently in this relaxing sky.

Refining the in-flight experience: Mood and accent lighting

SCHOTT® HelioIntense light sources are ideally suited for subtle illumination and mood lighting. When paired with SCHOTT® HelioLine fiber optic line lights, they bring a more sophisticated, understated feel to the cabin in areas such as window reveal or toe-kick lighting.
