Bring bright and beautiful lighting to any commercial aircraft cabin with Cobalt Spectrum

Cobalt Spectrum is our innovative drop-in mood lighting system, designed from the ground up to meet the needs of every commercial airline. Flying with many of the world’s flag carrier operators already, Cobalt Spectrum delivers an unrivalled feature set and the very highest in reliability.

Choose stunning bespoke colours in any mode

Lighting not only impacts the aesthetics of an aircraft cabin, but the mood and well being of passengers and crew.

Cobalt Spectrum lighting units bring bright and brilliant mood lighting to any cabin, quickly and easily. Wow passengers with lighting scenes that complement your brand colours, enhance sleep and meal times, and illuminate the cabin with spectacular designs like the Northern Lights. With our exclusive patent-pending Virtual Light Modes, a range of additional modes are available – meaning lighting scenes can be designed for use during key flight phases, special promotional journeys and specific one-off events.

To help you select the right colour scenes for your fleet, we even offer tailored Colour Clinic sessions either ‘on wing’ or at one of our offices; where a section of aircraft fuselage is equipped with Cobalt Spectrum lighting units to let you explore limitless colour options and choose with confidence.

Easy, quick installation

Fitting Cobalt Spectrum could not be easier – in fact, our system has been installed in an A320 size aircraft by two people in just one shift. There are no changes needed to wiring, connectors or attendant panel controls because Cobalt Spectrum works just like a commercial OEM system. Simply remove the old lighting units, fit new Cobalt Spectrum lighting units and fly away. Our drop-in systems are also offered with a full certification package included free of charge. There are no engineering NRCs.

Saving fuel, time and money

The lowest weight and the lowest power consumption of all OEM and retrofit solutions mean that installing Cobalt Spectrum could save your fleet fuel and money. Not only this, but the system now includes our patent pending Cobalt Global Reprogramming (CGR) for one-touch updates; save time hopping from tube to tube and update your system from the central control panel.

Reliable, high quality units mean beautiful lighting for longer

Cobalt Spectrum is highly reliable, with a Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) in excess of an incredible 500,000 hours. What’s more, Cobalt Aerospace’s patent-pending Age Correction Technology keeps lighting units looking beautiful throughout their lifetime. Our smart algorithms mean that, should you ever need a replacement lighting unit, the new unit will provide a light wash perfectly consistent with the rest of your installed system.

We partner with CREE to ensure our lighting units are built using the highest quality, brightest LED technology available.

Case study: Custom cabin lighting for Aer Lingus

As part of a line of recent innovations introduced at Aer Lingus, the airline chose to invest in enhancing the comfort of their guests with our fully customised mood lighting system. We worked closely with Aer Lingus to curate lighting scenes tailored to each phase of their flights, helping guests to feel relaxed and energised. Thanks to our Virtual Light Modes (VLMs), we were even able to add a bespoke ‘promotional mode’, capable of illuminating the cabin with Aer Lingus’ brand teal colour – perfect for special events!

“We are delighted to unveil the new LED mood lighting system which will further enhance the Aer Lingus guest in-flight experience.”
