DeVore Products Overview

Tel-Tail Aircraft Vertical Fin Stabilizer Lighting Systems

DeVore designs and manufactures vertical tail floodlights for almost every type of aircraft produced. Initially referred to as "logo lights", TEL-TAIL lights are much more than that, providing important visibility for other aircraft during ground and flight operations.

Helicopter Exterior Lighting Systems

DeVore's line of  helicopter lighting systems include the Tel-Tail rotor illumination light, Forward Facing Recognition Lights (FFRLs), Main Rotor Illumination lights and Fuselage / Logo floodlights.

The first helicopter Tel-Tail rotor floodlight installation was on a Bell 206 in 1977.  The system  was instantly popular due to the obvious safety benefits created by brilliantly illuminating  the tail rotor at   night during   ground operations.  They also assist in visually tracking the direction and speed of a helicopter in flight  at night.  Because they generally travel outside traditional  fixed-wing traffic patterns, the need for helicopters to "see and be seen" is paramount.

As with the fixed wing aircraft mentioned above, DeVore tail rotor floodlights can be found on most production helicopters, sold as either a factory standard (or option) or as an after-market retrofit kit. Additionally, DeVore produces a line of fuselage floodlights (traditionally used to illuminate EMS and television news logos) and Forward Facing Recognition Lights (FFRLs) for many different helo applications.

All DeVore helicopter lighting kits come complete in every detail  and  are ready to install. They include a copy of the STC, all required  parts, drawings, installation  instructions and authorization(s) and are produced under FAA PMA. 

We are pleased to announce receipt of STC for all LED lights for the Robinson R44 Helicopter.

Helicopter Interior Lighting Systems

DeVore Aviation new line of Helicopter Interior Lighting Systems was designed and developed for the South Korean Government’s new utility helicopter named Surion. The Surion features a variety of state-of-the-art technologies including:

• A four-axis digital automatic flight-control system
• A cockpit with multifunctional liquid crystal displays
• An engine health and usage monitoring system
• A full suite of DeVore fully dimmable Interior and Exterior Lighting Systems.

                  a) A Pilot Map and Utility LED Light
                  b) Interior Crew Station, Cargo Hook LED Lights
                  c) Troop, Cargo, Medical Crew/Patient compartment LED Lights
                  d) LED Cockpit Crew Lights

• Four new dimmer boxes for Cockpit Avionics including

                  1) the Center Console
                  2) the Overhead Console
                  3) the Primary Instrument Panel
                  4) and a Standby Instrument Panel 

All DeVore lights assemblies are fully qualification tested including EMI to MIL STD-461F
And Environmentally tested including vibration and 20g shock to meet MIL-STD-810F.

Even though it is primarily a military helicopter, the KUH already satisfies 96 percent of the international operational standards for civilian helicopters which includes DeVore Lighting Products. So if DeVore Lights are rugged enough for the South Korean military and their extreme operational requirements, perhaps DeVore Lights should be your choice for your next interior completion.

Pulse Light Approach Slope Indicator

The PLASI 2000 system is a visual approach aid used at airports and heliports worldwide. PLASI units assist the pilot by providing a light signal which indicates whether the aircraft is above, below or on glide slope during it's approach to landing. Other PLASI units have been developed for temporary installations, including a Mini-PLASI and an Infrared (IR) Mini-PLASI for tactical operations.

Flash Measuring Gun

The FMG4400D was developed by DeVore to meet a requirement set forth by the FAA to annually determine if an air carrier's aircraft strobe lights still meet minimum intensity levels. These "guns" are portable and easy to use, saving the airlines money and maintenance hours while complying with the FAA's regulations.
