ENHANCED VISBILITY
WAT's HID kits significantly improve illumination, offering brighter and more focused light compared to traditional incandescent systems, ensuring safer operations during night flights and in poor weather conditions.
-
LOWER OPERATING TEMPERATURES
Despite their highter light output, these HID kits operate at cooler temperatures, reducing the risk of heat damage to the lenses and surrounding aircraft components.
-
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The HID technology used in these kits is more energy- efficient, providing superior brightness with less power consumption, leading to longer lifespan for both the lights and the aircraft electrical system.
-
COMPREHENSIVE KIT
The kits come complete with all the necessary components, down to the wire ties needed for installation.
-
CUSTOM FIT DESIGN
Each kit is tailored for specific aircraft models, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration into the aircraft design.
-
COMPREHENSIVE WARRANTY
Every kit is backed by a robust 5-year or 5,000-hour warranty, ensuring your peace of mind and reliabilty over time.
-
APPROVALS
WAT offers a range of FAA STC, EASA, ANAC, INAC, and Transport Canada approved kits suitable for aircraft from single-engine pistons to commercial airliners.

WHAT IS HID LIGHTING?
HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting technology eliminates the need for filaments by using a single tungsten electrode encased in a quartz tube filled with Xenon gas and various metal salts. This advanced design enables WAT HID lights to produce beams that illuminate distances 2-3 times longer than comparable wattage halogen or LED lights. HIDs offer an optimal balance of output, cost, technology, and power, making them an excellent choice for aircraft requiring long-distance lighting.
WHAT MAKES WAT HID'S SPECIAL?
85W Dual Powered Ballast: Our patented ballast starts at 60W, emitting a white/blue light in "recognition mode." After 23 seconds, it ramps up to 85W, transitioning to a natural daylight color known as "landing mode." This design extends ballast life and provides superior daytime visibility. The natural daylight color in landing mode enhances night landing visibility.
HID Multi-Light Array (MLA): Our patented MLA assemblies deliver over 1 million candle power and feature built-in redundancy. Each lamp in the array is independently powered by its own ballast, ensuring that in the rare event of a failure, only a single light fails, not the entire assembly. This ensures optimal dispatch reliability for every flight.
