Honeywell announced today that it has been chosen by Boeing to supply the lower lobe cargo lights for the new 787 Dreamliner. The Astreon LED cargo lights illuminate the interior of the cargo bays and working areas around the cargo doors. Deliveries will begin in 2006.

“This is the fifth 787 award to Honeywell,” said Tom Eller, Product Line Director, Honeywell’s Electronics & Lighting business. “Boeing previously named Honeywell to provide the Navigation (NAV) package, Crew Information System/Management System (CIS/MS), flight control electronics, and Astreon light emitting diode systems for the aircraft.”

Together, the systems are said to represent a potential total program value in excess of $2.8 billion for Honeywell over the life of the 787 program.

Earlier this week, Honeywell announced that it had been selected to provide repair and overhaul services on Honeywell Auxiliary Power Units (APU) for Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 777 aircraft fleet.
