The PAL A350-900 cabin lighting schemes, created by LIFT Strategic Design

By Adam GavineAugust 20, 20181 Min Read

For boarding and disembarkation, the lighting effects are intended to recreate the immense sky above a land of more than 7,000 islands. A soft gradient of light, ranging from pale amber to a soft blue travels slowly from the rear of the cabin to the front, in a loop. The LIFT team says this effect communicates a uniquely PAL “mabuhay” (welcome in Filipino)

Special lighting schemes can be introduced for boarding and disembarkation during holiday periods

At Christmas for example, this particularly festive scheme can be selected. All that’s missing is a tree

Annual festivals are held in towns and cities throughout the Philippines, and they are an explosion of color. The LED lighting helps give PAL the ability to create a festival atmosphere on board

Again in festival mode, ‘flags’ adorn the cabin ceiling. The flags appear diffused when looking down the aisle, and defined when viewing them from the side

In celebration mode, a unique and dynamic light show can be selected to mark a special occasion, such as a birthday, anniversary or even a surprise marriage proposal on board

The whole cabin can become a flag for National Day

After meal service, a stylish but calm scheme helps passengers relax

Prior to the final meal service, a slow transition from midnight blue culminates with a slowly rising sun. As it fades out, the cabin sidewalls become bathed in warm amber
