DAVID HOFFMAN PRODUCTS
Was founded in 1981 as a response to a friend who asked me to design and manufacture a cockpit light which would meet the needs of Experimental Aircraft builders. He said that the existing lights on the market were costly, heavy, ugly, consumed lots of juice and were, consequently, hot to the touch; and since they looked like miniature Howitzers could damage the skull in turbulence!
Our first three versions used incandescent lamps, and suffered from their limitations. However, such famous aircraft as Rutan's "Voyager" and its record-setting, round-the-world, nine day flight with Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager proved their capabilities.
Now with LED technology, which has come of age since being introduced in the early sixties, our Cockpit Lights and Overhead Consoles really perform! Thankfully there is no FAA TSO on cockpit lighting, and since the lights are so light, no FAA 337 form (weight and balance) is required; thus opening the way for the certificated aircraft after market, as well.
I can be reached by email or phone if you have any questions about my products and I'll be glad to answer them.
