Abstract

A light for an aircraft comprises a holder for carrying a first group of light emitting diodes arranged along a curvilinear line and a first reflector having an elliptic reflective partial surface defining a plurality of focal points forming a first curvilinear focal line coinciding with the light emitting sites of the first group of light emitting diodes and second focal point or curvilinear focal line. The light further includes a second optical unit comprising a single further focal point or curvilinear focal line that coincides with the second focal point or focal line of the first reflector. The light further includes a second group of light emitting diodes displaced axially with respect to the first light emitting diodes, which emit light that bypasses the second focal point or focal line of the first reflector of the first optical unit.
