LoPresti Aviation Announces BoomBeams For Cessna Citation

Super Bright White Light In Long-Lived Bulbs

LoPresti Aviation has received FAA STC approval for BoomBeam HID lights on the Citation 560. This complete kit will give aviation's top performing business jet an increase in safety and a reduction in maintenance costs.

"Every Citation pilot knows that Citation flights are measured in 'Bulbs per Hour', with one of six lights burning out with high-cost frequency." According to Curt LoPresti, CEO of LoPresti Aviation, "Safety is aviation's number one agenda. We know that the addition of BoomBeam HID lights to all aircraft greatly improves their visibility and safety. Lights on 24/7 is now possible with our filament free, low power draw system. Replacement bulbs are a thing of the past. LoPresti has taken this out of the equation by offering their BoomBeams with a 5000 hour/5 year warranty.

"Like any pilot who has flown any 500 Series Citation, I have often found myself on short final "second-guessing" if I skipped the checklist item 'Landing Lights -> On'," said Citation pilot Philip Francis. "I finally had an opportunity to test your new HID lights that were installed on our Citation 560 Ultra, with a flight landing late in the evening. The lights are so bright and so white in contrast to the dim yellow original lights that, prior to crossing the threshold while still 20 to 40 feet in the air, I can see clearly the entire length of the runway confirming that it is free of any objects or animals."

"I now use the recognition lights and landing lights for every takeoff and landing during the day without the expense and concern of having to constantly replace one of the six lights which would frequently become unserviceable, (burnout) due to vibration encountered during flight and on the ground causing a filament to break," he continued.

Light kits are available for both wing and main landing gear locations on many Cessna Citation Aircraft.
