Abstract
An aircraft landing light with static function switching for producing at least two beams having different characteristics, in particular different orientations and/or openings, comprises an array of light-emitting diode lighting modules (6) each comprising at least two sets of at least one light source (S1, S2), operable selectively and statically to provide at least one of the lighting functions. Each lighting module (6) comprises a common converging lens (L) for the light sources, the converging lens comprising a light input optical surface (Li) and a light output optical surface (L2), said light sources being positioned in relation to the light input optical surface.

An aircraft landing light with static function switching, intended to produce at least two beams having different characteristics, in particular different orientations and/or different apertures, comprising an array of LED lighting modules (6) that each comprise at least two sets of at least one selectively and statically activatable light source (S) in order to generate at least one of the lighting functions, characterized in that it comprises a convergent lens (L) that is common to the light sources, the convergent lens comprising a light entrance dioptric interface (L1) and a light exit dioptric interface (L2), said light sources being positioned with respect to the light entrance dioptric interface.
