We support both linefit and retrofit projects with comprehensive cabin lighting expertise.

Implementation process.

We support both linefit and retrofit projects throughout the entire process – from initial ITCM meetings to final handover – covering all aspects of cabin lighting, including galleys, lavatories, and CRCs. Our team combines lighting expertise with in-depth aerospace systems knowledge, allowing us to enter a project at any stage, even shortly before the first cabin lighting workshop. This makes us a reliable partner for coordinating the full lighting process and supporting airline teams – even those without prior lighting experience. Ideally, we’re involved from the very beginning, bringing all relevant stakeholders to the table and guiding the implementation through our proven four-step approach.

4-STEP-APPROACH

Step 1
Technical Evaluation

In the first phase, we discuss technical options based on the specific project setup – whether it’s a linefit or retrofit – and align with the customer’s expectations and requirements. We take into account all cabin zones (including galleys, lavatories, and CRCs) and assess integration aspects early on. This ensures a solid technical foundation before moving into concept development.

Step 2
Design matching

We analyze the cabin layout and design context to define lighting concepts that are both operationally and visually compatible. Together with the customer, we create initial lighting scenarios and ensure they harmonize with materials, surfaces, and branding. This step sets the stage for a cabin lighting concept that not only works technically but also enhances the passenger and crew experience – including its chronobiological effectiveness for better well-being on board.

Step 3
Cabin lighting workshop

This is where things become tangible: whether in a mock-up at the OEM (for linefit) or on board the aircraft (for retrofit), we guide all stakeholders through the lighting concept. The lighting scenarios are tested, discussed, and refined as needed. We measure them specifically with regard to their chronobiological effectiveness – based on scientific findings and established evaluation criteria. We often support airline teams with limited lighting experience and help ensure that technical teams, crew, and decision-makers are aligned.

Step 4
Trim and finish

We support the handover process by assisting with the final implementation steps. This includes fine-tuning settings, supporting final approvals, and ensuring that the lighting system performs as intended in real-life conditions. Our experience across various airline projects ensures smooth coordination and reliable results.

jetlite Cabin One goes beyond traditional lighting design by combining chronobiology, operational expertise, and design integration into a holistic, science-driven approach. While conventional lighting concepts often focus on brand identity or aesthetics alone, our solutions are built on a deeper understanding of how light affects people, processes, and perception on board. Our three key principles – Chronobiological Effectiveness, Operational Integration, and Design Compatibility – form the foundation of our concept. They ensure that our lighting scenarios support well-being, align with airline workflows, and enhance the cabin experience visually and functionally. This integrated approach bridges the gap between science, design, and aircraft operations – ensuring that cabin lighting not only looks good, but also works better in the real-world environment of aviation.

THREE KEY PRINCIPLES

We also create and do research on chronobiologically effective lighting outside aviation.
