Combined forward navigation and anti-collision light for an aircraft and aircraft comprising the same

A combined forward navigation and anti-collision light for an aircraft, comprising:

• a forward navigation light source;
• a first lens, arranged over the forward navigation light source, with the forward navigation light source and the first lens in operation generating a forward navigation light output;
• an anti-collision light source;
• a second lens, arranged over the anti-collision light source, with the anti-collision light source and the second lens in operation generating an anti-collision light output;
• a mounting structure, to which the forward navigation light source, the first lens, the anti-collision light source, and the second lens are mounted;
• wherein the mounting structure provides a common mounting plane, with the forward navigation light source and the anti-collision light source being arranged on the common mounting plane;
• an end of life detector, arranged between the forward navigation light source and the anti-collision light source;
• and
• a third lens, arranged over the end of life detector, with the third lens directing light from the forward navigation light source and from the anti-collision light source towards the end of life detector.
