LUMIQ Technology

The LightMap AIR Station is manufactured using our new direct-to-acrylic process. The front face is printed with rich UV cured inks, while a thin LED core illuminates icons and symbols with vibrant colors.

Wind

Our wind indicator illuminates combinations of cardinal directions to display a wind vector with 22.5 degree accuracy. From NNW to SSE, and everything in between, each vector is accompanied with a colored speed and gust value.

Airport

Each AIR Station is custom printed for a particular airport. The runway diagram is shown along with the ICAO code and airport name. The colored line changes between green, blue, red, and purple to indicate the current flight category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, and LIFR.)

Temperature

Our unique temperature display separates the ten's and the one's places to indicate temperature with 1 degree accuracy. In this example, the temperature shown is 57 degrees F. On the same scale, dew point is shown in a different color.

Not for outdoor use

I fly drones, so before flying I need to check the nearest airport’s METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) to determine conditions and flight limits. The LightMaps Air Station displays everything I need in an easy to grasp graphical format, so at a glance I have everything I need to know. Works flawlessly, is attractive, and is quite the conversation piece!

I really like the airport map

I have bought 3 products and the airport map framed is the only one I’d buy. I can’t get the best weather because I have no idea where they are getting data from. I have not been able to connect the airport one. No customer service number either.

Only updates on the hour. Smaller than expected

Lightmap Air Station

I like it better than I thought - had some concerns about all the LEDs but it’s done nicely and once you learn the various colors for the WX it’s enjoyable — learning the color codes didn’t take long and it’s nice to see the current conditions at the local airport. This compliments my Tempest station for a good range of WX conditions in the area as the airport is about 8 miles away.
It’s an impressive station.

This is probably the best system that is out there, I ordered one for my son, who is a Captain with Southwest Airlines, and also my son in law, who is a Captain with Southwest Airlines, so both of them how it and I have one for myself, I'm retired , but I still love to see what it is.. Just simply one of the best that is out there

Great but not complete

My airport weather lightmap is great but there are a few things missing. There needs to be a humidity line (although you can calculate it yourself from temp and dewpoint) and a moon phase line. A small clock under the runways would be great too. The wind line says winds and gusts but those can be very different. I assumed gusts would be visible when you waved your hand in front to see dew point but I don’t see it. I love the look and it is hard not to keep looking at it. These few additions would improve it a lot.

Thank you again! Amazing work

Awesome and Informative!

Love this thing. As we are boaters, having this in our home gives us a quick glimpse into what conditions are like out in the open water. Looks great, and provides really good information. Always updated, brightens and dims automatically, etc. We're definitely and enjoying having fun with it!!

Perfect

Amazing and worth every dollar.

Without question, the maps and light boards are the best quality, have the easiest set up, and look the best.

It will not vonnect to a 5ghz signal. And unfortunately newer android phones do not allow you to switch to 2.4ghz.

Kinda small

Way smaller than I imagined. But still pretty cool and easy to set up. The wires in the back don’t allow it to sit flush against the wall though. That needs to be improved.

AMAZING!

Thank you LightMap team! I work for United Aviate Academy pilot training academy. The wall METAR bord is brilliant to look at and the instructors and students use it many times a day for guidance along with the dispatchers and flight schedulers. This has became my favorite "toy" at work.

Dimming light

Reat costumer support!

Fun fusion of data and art

Very creative, and nicely executed piece of data art

My Previous Review Incorrectly made

A miscommunication problem on neither my or their fault led to my frustration with this company unjustifiably. They have rectified the problem and followed up like an A+ company is expected.
Their product works as advertised.

Amaizing maps

Birthday

We got the Air Station for my son. He is a Navy Aviator and thought it was realy cool the way it was personalized to the Naval Air Station where he is. He said the setup was very easy.

Mesmerizing

A co-worker, who is a pilot, had a LightMap AIR Station at his house and I was fascinated by it. Although I am not a pilot, I am a casual weather nerd and my LightMap AIR Station is me new favorite thing in my home office!

I love this product!!

Great customer service, solid product that works flawlessly!!!!

Need phone no for help

The light map will not stay connected - please send a phone number I can call for help getting this working correctly -thanks - I asked before

Airport Light Map

You have done it again. The customized airport weather board is brilliant and I hope everyone at an airport wants one. Great idea, I love it .

LightMap AIR Station

Awesome product.

The customer service after the sale is outstanding!

Great product

Very accurate, precise. Provide complete information about weather.

Awesome

Works as promised and looks great in my office! It keeps up with METAR updates just fine. I suggest carefully removing the attached hanger and using 3M Command strips to mount it flush on the wall- looks way neater this way. Thanks for a great product.
