LED Lighting Solutions for the Space & Defence Industry
In the space and defence sectors, every component must meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and innovation. At Effilux, we specialize in developing advanced photonic systems tailored to the unique challenges of space observation, satellite calibration, and aerospace instrumentation.
Key Applications in Space & Defence
Radiometric Calibration
Effilux has developed LED-based calibration light sources for large-aperture telescopes—offering a stable, low-heat, and long-lifetime alternative to traditional integrating spheres. These systems are designed to meet the stringent radiometric requirements of national space agencies and satellite manufacturers.
Custom Optical Systems
From concept to production, Effilux collaborates with aerospace and defence partners to design and deliver custom lighting solutions for optical instruments, test benches, and onboard systems. Our in-house R&D team ensures that every solution is engineered to exacting specifications.
Cleanroom & IP-Protected Designs
Effilux products are built for environments where cleanliness and durability are critical. Our IP-rated, easy-to-maintain designs are ideal for cleanrooms, vacuum chambers, and other controlled environments common in aerospace and defence applications.
