Two aircraft cabin lighting experts, Schott and Jetlite, have partnered to develop a new generation of lighting technologies for next-generation aircraft interiors. The collaboration brings together Jetlite’s expertise in chronobiology-based lighting with Schott’s experience in developing certified aviation components.
There are three key elements to the development programme: chronobiology, cabin design, and onboard operations. Chronobiology defines how lighting supports human well-being, while design shapes how passengers and crew experience the cabin, and operational requirements determine reliability and maintainability in daily service.
The companies say that aligning these factors enables lighting technologies that are optimised for both technical performance and passenger comfort.
At the centre of the work is a jointly developed modular LED strip platform designed for seats, suites and galleys. These are areas where precise, localised lighting can enhance the passenger experience. The system features high-quality optics, flicker-free performance, and natural colour rendering. Its modular architecture supports flexible integration into a wide range of cabin layouts and design concepts.
