BoomBeam Revealed Deer On Runway And Avoid A Potential Disaster

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/18/2013 -- LoPresti BoomBeam HID lights improve range and increase safety. Recently a customer had this to say about his BoomBeam HID lights.

Dear Curt LoPresti,

In early mid September of this year we were executing an early evening arrival with our brand new Citation Excel S Plus at Wings Field in Pennsylvania. It was just after dusk, very dark, with clear visibility. As we approached visually to runway 24 during our flair just over the numbers, our landing lights shined upon four deer about 1000 feet down the runway staring back at us! We were able execute a go around safely, asked for the FBO to chase the deer off the runway and come back around for a safe landing.

We had just completed the upgrade to the new LoPresti lighting system and I can say without a doubt that with the original lighting system we would have been on the ground with speed brakes out and no choice but to hit the deer.

We are a firm believer in this lighting system as a great safety tool on our aircraft, such a believer that I installed them on my personal Cessna 180.

Thank you LoPresti for saving us from a very unfortunate situation.

Now more than 1.5 Million Candela

Sebastian, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/05/2013 -- With the BoomBeams now every landing is a daylight landing. Since we installed the BoomBeams we have flown hundreds of hours and haven't had a failure. I don't expect to ever change another landing or taxi light. In fact, I'm so confident in the performance, I don't even carry any spares,"

Mark Jones, Chief Pilot for Marquette Electronics.

The BoomBeam provides a light whose color is very close to actual daylight.   This means that not only is the light MUCH brighter than the standard light, (10 times more light), but is also much whiter, yielding colors that are more truer, giving you a better night view. 

Brighter Lighting: Reveals Hidden Obstacles
High Reliability: Save Maintenance Costs
Lower Amp Draw: Longer Alternator Life
Whiter Light Color: Improves Pilot Night Vision
Longer Range Light: Improves Safety - No Surprises On The Runway
Five Year Warranty: Leave On Continuously To Improve Safety

BoomBeam HID Landing And Taxi Lights Improve Safety

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/12/2013 -- LoPresti Aviation is pleased to announce the FAA has granted a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the BoomBeam™ High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting Systems for the Cessna Citation 680 and 750.

"We are very excited to have our next generation taxi and landing light systems available for nearly the entire Citation line," remarked Curt LoPresti, President of LoPresti Aviation." By collaborating with corporate flight departments and by utilizing engineering technology that is designed to meet the specific needs of flight crews, we have successfully created optimal lighting for safe and reliable operation."

HID technology generates an extremely powerful light source by passing electricity through a specialized lamp containing pressurized xenon gas. The result is an intense light, mimicking the color of natural sunlight. This type of system is commonly utilized for research and industry to simulate sunlight. The pressurized HID lamps are sealed, making them waterproof, weatherproof, shock resistant and highly durable.

The HID technology is very energy efficient, consuming only a fraction of power, in comparison to fluorescent and incandescent lights. In addition, they produce less heat, as more of their energy is converted to visible light rather than heat.

LoPresti engineers maximize this technology by designing aviation-specific reflectors for best overall illumination. Chief Engineer John Wertz explains: "Essentially, we manipulate the light to reduce wasteful dissipation and design beam patterns to improve illumination direction and concentration specifically to meet the needs of the flight crew. As a result, the light pattern is more intense and is longer reaching than other aviation lights".

About LoPresti Aviation
LoPresti Aviation is a family owned and operated company specializing in aircraft modifications. They engineer, design, and manufacture product from their headquarters in Florida. LoPresti has been awarded hundreds of supplemental type certificates for increasing speed, efficiency, and lighting.

The LoPresti Award ceremony was held on the opening day at Airventure 2010

Oshkosh, WI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/29/2010 -- A Virtual HUD (Heads Up Display) developed by Bill Steele was awarded the Roy LoPresti Innovation in Aviation Award on opening day of AirVenture.

The low-cost HUD projects critical information on an aircraft's propeller, putting the images "right in front of the pilot's eyes," said Steele, who also has developed the Wingman, a portable display that is a complete EFIS.

Steele (left) explained he had a "Eureka" moment while playing with a laser pointer at his father's house during a Thanksgiving visit. When he shone the laser on the ceiling fan, he realized that he could use his airplane's propeller to project information. It took him 18 months of "trial and error" to develop the HUD, which features full-color displays.

Virtual HUD is the third winner of the LoPresti award, which was designed by the late Roy LoPresti. Previous winners include DeltaHawk's diesel engine and Bede Corp's retractable wheel pants. Winners must meet three criteria, according to Rj Siegel, LoPresti CEO (pictured right): It must be innovative; it must be practical; and it must offer a user experience is that "seamless."

"Bill Steele's Virtual HUD passes all these tests with flying colors," Siegel said.

"I have to say this about the LoPresti BoomBeam HID light system for the HS125: They work great. Our Company was one of the first to try the original and now with the X2 System, all that needs to be said is WOW. Both sides were installed in one day. The output of the lights is at least 50% brighter than the original BoomBeam kit and that kit was a giant improvement over the standard factory light."

"The units have all the harness made up and the instructions are easily followed for the installation process. This product produces no heat. So, in the past years we have never had to replace a lens due to heat issues. This was a common occurrence with the original factory lights on the Hawker. The BoomBeam lights are reliable and we have not had a failure since the original installation."

"Since I am a Crew Member and Technician, I see the BoomBeam Mod from both sides. They succeed in all areas: Reliability, Maintainability and (most of all) Cost Effectiveness. Each time a light is replaced the Wing Lens must be removed and resealed -  this is downtime and the BoomBeams have eliminated this issue," reported Mark.

Mark Jones is the Director of Maintenance on the Hawker 800XP operated by Cozzens and Cudahy Air, working on this type of aircraft for 20+years. He also crews the same aircraft, operated worldwide. A member of the National Business Aircraft Association Hawker Technical Committee, he has earned the Master Technician on the Hawker 800XP and the Master Technician with the Management Endorsement from Flight Safety.

Glenn is known as "Dr. Glenn" of Love Doctors fame

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/07/2009 -- First Saturday Fly-in Event will be held Saturday, November 7th at our new facility in Sebastian. LoPresti Aviation will guest host speaker local resident Glenn Curtis. Many of you know him as Doctor Glenn of the Love Doctors radio show. What many may not know is that the Love Doctors Charities is a cornerstone element of the Love Doctors show. The charities have raised well over a million dollars that has been spent on good works in our local community.

The full breakfast buffet begins at 8:15 am with steaming hot cups of coffee and everything from pancakes, eggs, & bacon to fresh fruits and delicious muffins. Breakfast is followed by Glenn's presentation at 10-11:30 a.m. This month's event will benefit Glenn's  personal charity choice, The Love Doctors Charities. (A $5 donation is requested)

In addition to the annual toy distribution, the charity provides a wide range of community assistance throughout the Treasure Coast.  This year the charity has helped a family that lost everything in a fire, offered rent assistance to a single mother, sponsored two high school air force cadets, aided a senior citizen battling cancer giving area teachers school supplies and annually sends several kids to diabetes camp.

Come to First Saturday and hear the great stories and behind the scenes laughter that happens on the Love Doctors show. Glenn has great stories that could not be shared live and if you have never been to a Love Doctors event you are in for a real treat. Woven into this tapestry of joviality will be stories of the stewardship and giving that has made the Love Doctors a force to be reckoned with not just in radio, but in our community at large.

Doctor Glenn got the "bug" for radio in 1976 & 1977 while he was a junior and senior at Vero Beach High School. He took broadcasting classes and spent lunch hour as a d.j. on the school radio station. After high school, he attended broadcasting school in Sarasota, and returned to the Treasure Coast to work at WTTB, WFTP, WSTU and WAVW (Wave Country 92.7) While at WAVW, Glenn met Rich Dickerson and teamed up to form "The Love Doctors". From there the team went to WKGR (The Gater) and on to WZZR, where we have been since 1991. A few years later, we formed Love Doctors Charities to help residents of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches.

The Love Doctors Charities has raised more than $1,249,000 and the 2008 annual Xmas toy drive raised $250,000 dollars and provided toys to over 9,000 area children.

This complete kit will give aviation's top performing business jet an increase in safety and a dramatic cost improvement.

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/10/2009 -- LoPresti Aviation announces the FAA STC'd approval for BoomBeam™ HID lights on the Citation 560. This complete kit will give aviation's top performing business jet an increase in safety and a dramatic reduction in maintenance costs.

"Every Citation pilot knows that Citation flights are measured in 'Bulbs per Hour', with one of six lights burning out with high-cost frequency." According to Curt LoPresti, CEO of LoPresti Aviation, "Safety is aviation's number one agenda. We know that the addition of BoomBeam HID lights to all aircraft greatly improves their conspicuity and safety. Lights on 24/7 is now possible with our filament free, low power draw system. Replacement bulbs are a thing of the past. LoPresti has taken this out of the equation by offering their BoomBeams™ with a 5000 hour/5 year warranty. Don't take our word for it," says LoPresti, "listen to what Philip Francis, Citation Pilot says about his LoPresti BoomBeam System."

Like any pilot who has flown any 500 Series Citation, I have often found myself on short final "second-guessing" if I skipped the checklist item "Landing Lights -> On", causing me to momentarily move my hand off the throttles and glance down to flip the switches On, only to realize that they were already On...!!

Needless to say, flying any 500 Series Citation into uncontrolled airports (the raison d'etre for corporate aircraft) at night always brings tense moments as you strain to see any "dim" silhouettes or objects that might appear on the runway just in front of the aircraft as the original lights would not permit much advanced warning.

I finally had an opportunity to "test" your new HID lights that were installed on our Citation 560 Ultra, with a flight landing late in the evening.

WOW...!!!

Just to try and give you a slight representation of my "NEW" reality..... everything that is in the path of the new HID lights is now brighter and whiter than in the midday sunlight..!!

The lights are so bright and so white in contrast to the dim "yellow" original lights that, prior to crossing the threshold while still 20 to 40 feet in the air, I can see clearly the entire length of the runway confirming that it is free of any objects or animals (i.e. deer etc.).

In addition, for increased visibility and safety I now use the recognition lights and landing lights for every takeoff and landing during the day without the expense and concern of having to constantly replace one of the six lights which would frequently become unserviceable, (burnout) due to vibration encountered during flight and on the ground causing a filament to break.

My conclusion after installing your HID light kit on our Citation 560:
"All of our night operations are much safer by greatly increasing pilot visibility and awareness while decreasing pilot stress.
Reduced downtime and non-scheduled maintenance costs for repetitively replacing the original incandescent light bulbs."

Thank you for developing this great product.

LoPresti Aviation will host another in their series of "First Saturday" events in the LoPresti/Vero Beach Avionics hangar on the north ramp of the Vero Beach airport on June 6th starting at 9 am. LoPresti First Saturday is about connecting aviation to modern America.

Vero Beach, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/20/2009 -- LoPresti Aviation will host another in their series of "First Saturday" events in the LoPresti/Vero Beach Avionics hangar on the north ramp of the Vero Beach airport on June 6th starting at 9 am.

LoPresti First Saturday is about connecting aviation to modern America.
As a boy, Roy LoPresti hung around airports and airplanes every chance he got. However, what was possible and even common 60 years ago, is neither today. Roy bemoaned the loss of innocence and the lack of places for kids and pilots to meet. So we opened "LeRoy's Cafe" as a place for pilots and the community to "Hang Out". Later we added First Saturday to formally bring the two together once a month with a full breakfast, an interesting topic and a guest speaker. Any proceeds we generate goes to a charity or a worthy cause. In this way we get to give back to the community and provide a place for pilots to gather. Best of all we get to do what Roy wanted most...to share the dream of flight.

The speaker Scott Smith, Area Sales Manager for Aspen Avionics will discuss the advantages of "Flying the Aspen Display" at the LoPresti First Saturday flyin at Vero Beach on June 6th, 2009.

Aspen Avionics specializes in bringing the most advanced technology and capability from the commercial and business aviation markets into General Aviation cockpits—and budgets. Our products increase situational awareness and reduce pilot workload, making it even easier and safer to fly in both VFR and IFR conditions. The way we look at it, getting the latest avionics technology shouldn't always mean spending a lot of money—on equipment or installation. At Aspen Avionics, we design products to be affordable, easy to install, and easy to own.

Flying Magazine Reviews the EFD1000 PFD

"It's clear that Aspen was setting the bar high when it set out to certify the EFD1000 and to make it fly in hundreds of airplanes. From our perspective, the company didn't just succeed at this ambitious goal; it knocked it out of the park."

Flying's Robert Goyer reviewed the EFD1000 Primary Flight Display for the May, 2009 issue, and was clearly impressed with the product and its features. Check out his article on the Flying Magazine Website.

Diane Doers, DeltaHawk, the 2008 award winner, presents Jim Bede, Jr. with the LoPresti Innovation in Aviation Award for 2009.

Sebastian, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/05/2009 -- LoPresti Aviation is best known as an engineering innovation company. Our founder Roy LoPresti was well known for pushing the envelope of performance. He was responsible for an incredible string of successful aviation designs. The Grumman Tiger, Cheetah and Cougar; the Mooney 201,232,252 and 301 all bear his signature. Not to mention the Lunar Lander and of course the LoPresti Fury. It is that legacy that has fueled LoPresti Aviation to create and hold more STC's than any other aviation modification company in the world.

We treasure and guard that reputation by our constant attention to new technologies and appreciation of creative thinking.

It is that attention and appreciation which has led us to the General Aviation community itself is a prolific source of great ideas.

In Roy LoPresti's name and in his memory the LoPresti family has created a yearly award to recognize those ideas, which truly and profoundly innovate General Aviation. The Roy LoPresti "Innovation in Aviation Award."

Each year, one great idea, one innovative design will win this award and be recognized as an innovator.

A panel of 5-7 judges review submissions and ultimately decide on the winner. These judges are drawn from Aviation engineering, business, finance and marketing.

The winning innovator receives an Award designed and constructed by the late Roy LoPresti to keep and care for one year. That winner then joins the Judges for the same term (1 year) to review the ideas of fellow innovators. Finally, LoPresti will offer the winner assistance in developing the concept and productizing their idea.

In the first expression of the LoPresti Innovation In Aviation winner DeltaHawk has been working with LoPresti to bring their product to a wider market. In this next year you will see their engine gain certification and we will work with them to create STC's for the burgeoning Diesel market.

We are delighted to announce that the second winner of The Roy LoPresti Prize for Innovation in Aviation is Bede Inc. for their SpeedTrac wheelpants. LoPresti Aviation is delighted to announce that this wonderful idea has been productized and will be available this year at Oshkosh for the RV7 and RV10 aircraft.

LoPresti already scours the aviation world for new ideas. To aid in that effort we are including in our process a web site for the submission and protection of those ideas.

March 7th in Vero Beach, FL

Vero Beach, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/10/2009 -- LoPresti Aviation will host another in their series of "First Saturday" events in the LoPresti hangar on the north ramp of the Vero Beach airport on March 7th starting at 9 am.

LoPresti First Saturday is about connecting aviation to modern America.

The founder of the company, Roy LoPresti, had a life long love of aviation. As a boy of 5 he announced to his parents, he was going to "design airplanes". A bold statement from the son of poor first generation immigrants. But sure enough, he entered NYU at 16 and graduated at 19 with a degree in aviation engineering.

As a boy, Roy hung around airports and airplanes every chance he got. However, what was possible and even common 60 years ago, is neither today. Roy bemoaned the loss of innocence and the lack of places for kids and pilots to meet. So we opened "LeRoy's Cafe" as a place for pilots and the community to "Hang Out". Later we added First Saturday to formally bring the two together once a month with a full breakfast, an interesting topic and a guest speaker. Any proceeds we generate goes to a charity or a worthy cause. In this way we get to give back to the community and provide a place for pilots to gather. Best of all we get to do what Roy wanted most...to share the dream of flight.

The Speaker. The March "First Saturday" event will feature Wilco films. "When I saw the trailer for A Pilot's Story I immediately thought that these guys would be great as First Saturday speakers. The tone of this film matches our First Saturday events, connecting aviation and airports to our local community. The imagery of the film was great and after meeting Will Hawkins and Rico Sharqawi on I just knew that these guys could tell a great story." said David LoPresti.

"When David LoPresti called to ask if we would consider being part of the LoPresti First Saturday event I was really pleased. We just love to share the love of flying and to promote our new film." Said Will Hawkins.

The Charity
The speakers will be proceeded by a full breakfast benefit for the Boy Scouts of America, Indian River District. The scouts will also serve and will have displays of Scouting Skills.

The Indian River District of the Boy Scouts of America is made up of more than 200 volunteers who operate 30 Scouting Units that provide programs for almost 1,000 youth. These units are Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops, coed Venture Crews and two Sea Scout Ships. The ages of the youth range from 7 years old to 18 years old for Cubs and Scouts and to 21 years old for Venture and Sea Scouts.

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to help build Character, Citizenship, and Physical and Mental Fitness in young people. All programs are age appropriate.

The Indian River District of the Boy Scouts of America is a part of the Gulf Stream Council that conducts all Scouting activities from Boca Raton to Sebastian and out around Lake Okeechobee and includes Okeechobee, Clewiston and Belle Glade. The Indian River District covers all of Indian River County.

"This will be a great opportunity for the community to see Boy Scouting skills and have a fantastic breakfast at a great price. A Scout is thrifty." said Brenda Carley, District Executive. "This is a great example of how a local business can support Scouting or any charity while introducing youth to the wider community."

LoPresti Improves Cirrus By 300%

San Jose, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/07/2008 -- LoPresti makes a wide range of VERY cool products. Products that (among other things) increase speed, save fuel and light up the sky. But what do you do for an encore when you already make the number one product in your field? When every new Cirrus since 2004 has been sold with the best landing light in aviation. The LoPresti BoomBeam™.

When your product has become the very definition of setting the bar really, really high?

You raise the bar.

The new X2 BoomBeam™ from LoPresti produces 300% more light on the same electrical load and is half the weight. No Kidding... This is worth repeating...

• THREE times the light
• HALF the weight
• No increase in electrical requirements

"Back in 1997 when my brother David first proposed that we design and market this technology I thought 'who the heck would buy a high tech light? ' The old ones are cheap and easy to change. But my father and brother pushed to develop this technology. I was flat wrong. Everyone needs a better safer more cost effective light. And now we are the market leader in this technology," said Curt LoPresti, President LoPresti Aviation.

For more than 7 years Cirrus Design has made LoPresti the standard premier light for their aircraft, adding to its safety record. The latest innovation, BoomBeam X2, adds significantly to the range and safety zone of this already industry leading light. Now with the X2 System you can see obstacles at a much longer range allowing you to avoid hazards and increase your comfort level in poorly lit environments.

SO, Is that enough improvement? Heck no. The X2 system is tunable. Every pilot and aircraft is different and now you can tune your X2 light to your Cirrus's specific desires. The X2 System allows for ground "tuning" of your landing light. A wide beam is best for most Cirrus' and has longer range then the stock "Legacy BoomBeam". A tighter beam with substantially longer range is available for aircraft with LoPresti TriTips or Cirrus tip lights with a simple adjustment.

What do LoPresti BoomBeam X2 owners say about this new light?

"I HIGHLY recommend the X2 Boom Beam and I am happy to do business with LoPresti in the future. Two thumbs up on Customer Service!" - Todd Gardner

"Well I finally had a chance to use my recently installed LoPresti X2 Boom Beam landing light and I'm happy to report that it's GREAT! …. This light is a marked improvement over the landing light our plane comes with from the factory. … This new landing light does a much better job of lighting up the runway which gives me better depth perception and I can see the runway. I turn the runway lights down low (if not off) when I'm on short final. The new LoPresti light shined brightly and also allows you to see any wildlife further down the runway; a problem here in Wisconsin. Now it's not like the dual headlights on your car, but again it's a substantial improvement." - Brian P. Johnson

"I too purchased an X2 Boom Beam from LoPresti. The installation instructions were straightforward (including pictures) and it took me about 20 minutes from beginning to end to make the swap. Anyone who owns a screwdriver should to remove the old light and install the new one. I had the opportunity to try it out one night last week and what a difference! I could easily see at least twice as far down the runway. In addition, the peripheral areas seemed to me to be lit just as well as with the old bulb." - Jim Warren

LoPresti BoomBeam X2 light is on display at our booth 1137 at AOPA Expo and is available through the LoPresti Partner Network.
