Company History
Consolite Technology is a well established business having started with the design and manufacture of cockpit lighting indicators for the UK Sea Harrier in 1980. In 1984 Consolite introduced the thumbwheel potentiometer used on the F-16 HUD and is to this day the sole supplier of this item. The design has been developed for the F-22 fighter and now a mechanical encoder for the Block 60 F-16 HUD and an optical encoder for the Eurofighter Typhoon have been added to the range.
In the mid-1980s Consolite developed a capability in the design and development of NVG compatible filters for cockpit lighting and so was an early leader in the field. This capability was later extended to full cockpit upgrades for many of the world's major aircraft types. More recently the company has achieved success in the modification of lighting on UK Royal Navy warships, including a complete upgrade to a major aircraft carrier.
