Interior lighting is controlled by a combination of dimmable crew area
flood lighting, internally lit switch and circuit breaker panels, avionics
panel lighting, standby instrument lighting, pedestal lighting, pilot
control wheel map lighting and passenger area flood lighting.
Flood lighting is accomplished using two dimmable lights in the front
crew area and one dome light in the rear passenger area. These lights
are contained in the overhead console, and are controlled by dimmer
controls for the front flood lights, and an on-off type push button switch
for the rear dome light. The front flood lights can be rotated to provide
directional lighting for the pilot and front passenger. The rear dome light
provides for general illumination in the rear cabin area. Rear dome light
and courtesy lights, located under the wing, share the same control
switch.
Lighting of the switch panel, circuit breaker panel, engine controls and
environmental control panel is accomplished by using internally lit LED
panels. Rotating the SW/CB PANELS dimmer, found on the switch
panel in the DIMMING group, controls the lighting level for both panels.
Rotating the dimmer counterclockwise decreases light intensity from
the highest level to off.
Pedestal lighting consists of a LED strip light incorporated into the
Throttle/Flap Control Lever panel located on the bottom of the center
instrument panel and a second LED strip light incorporated into the
pedestal directly above the 12 volt cabin power outlet. Rotating the
PEDESTAL light dimmer, found on the switch panel in the DIMMING
group, controls the pedestal lights. Rotating the dimmer
counterclockwise decreases light intensity from the highest level to off.
