Aircraft Hangar Lighting
Kellwood Lighting designs and supplies compliant lighting systems for aircraft hangars, addressing the unique safety, maintenance, and operational challenges of aviation facilities.
Specialist Lighting for Aircraft Hangars
Lighting aircraft hangars requires careful consideration of safety-critical tasks, large open spaces, and strict compliance with aviation and workplace standards. High, often obstructed mounting points and the need for consistent illumination across wide areas mean standard industrial lighting is not sufficient.
Kellwood works with airport operators, maintenance providers, and contractors to design tailored solutions that support safe inspections, repairs, and aircraft movements. We understand the requirements set out in guides such as CIBSE, CAA, and ICAO, and ensure designs meet relevant lux levels for hangar bays, workshops, and ancillary areas.
Our durable and low-maintenance fittings reduce downtime, while advanced optical control helps minimise glare on reflective aircraft surfaces. From concept to installation support, Kellwood provides reliable hangar lighting solutions that improve safety and operational efficiency. Discuss your Aircraft Hangar Lighting Project

LED HANGAR LIGHTS
These tough requirements provide an ideal opportunity for careful design and superior products to outshine the merely average. Long operating hours and high lux levels mean that relatively small differences in product wattage can add up to significant differences in running cost. Intelligent lighting controls are often useful where there is good ambient lighting and areas with irregular usage.
