Latest STG Aerospace floor path lighting approved for A320

Miami, Florida – Following certification by the FAA and EASA, operators of Airbus A320 family aircraft can now upgrade the emergency floor path marking to the latest version of STG Aerospace’s saf-Tglo photoluminescent system, SuperSeal UltraLite (SSUL).

 

Marcus Williams, global sales and marketing director for STG Aerospace, commented: “Securing EASA and FAA approval for the successful Airbus A320 family now allows operators of these aircraft to install the latest next-generation emergency exit lighting solution helping to save significant costs, both operational and maintenance, compared with electrical systems.”

 

The latest generation SSUL incorporates the features of earlier saf-Tglo designs and is 70% lighter and 17% brighter. Already specified as line fit by numerous aircraft manufacturers and retrofitted on many aircraft in the aftermarket, SSUL is already installed and flying on A320 aircraft.

 

Featuring a reduced depth profile to suit modern light weight carpets, SSUL is a narrow, light and discrete floor path marking solution manufactured in one-piece lengths that can be cut to fit and sealed during installation. Carpet edges can be concealed with the OverCarpet housing option with a hinged-wing design that removes the need for carpet binding.

 

First launched in 1995 and with continuous evolutions ever since, saf-Tglo stores and simultaneously emits light and marks the way to the emergency exits after a short charging period. Requiring no power source, saf-Tglo emergency floor path lighting features a sealed design to eliminate fluid ingress and can reduce maintenance costs by up to 80% compared to other systems. It is installed on more than 10,000 aircraft operating for more than 300 airlines worldwide.
