ARP5873 AEROSPACE MENDED PRACTICE Issued 2007-03 LED Passenger Reading Light Assembly RATIONALE White LED technology is finding widespread us e in passenger reading light applications. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this SAE Aerospace mended Practice (ARP ) is to mend minimum design criteria which will lead to adequate performance standards for LED passenger r eading light assemblies mercial aircraft. This document mends design and performance criteria for li ght emitting diode (LED) reading lights in the passenger cabin of aircraft subject to FAR Part 25 certification. It is intended as guidance for the cert ifying authority. This document is specific to passenger reading lights using LED tec hnology. Passenger Reading Lights based on other technologies, such as incandescent or h
