Lighting device for aircraft allowing the integration of additional functions at its center

A Light Emitting Diode (LED) light for an aircraft, comprising:

• a hollow cylindrical body attached to the aircraft's exterior;
• a plurality of LEDs, mounted in the hollow cylindrical body, to illuminate an area outside the aircraft;
• and
• at least one reflector to receive light beams emitted by the LEDs and configured to direct the light beams in a lighting direction of the LED light,
• wherein:
• the LEDs are (i) mounted on a cylindrical support and (ii) disposed on an external peripheral wall of the support radially in the hollow cylindrical body, the cylindrical support having a polygonal contour;
• at least one piece of equipment to execute an auxiliary function is mounted at a center of the support;
• the at least one piece of equipment is selected from the group consisting of a radar and a sensor;
• and
• the at least one piece of equipment and the LEDs are configured to function independently.
