Description
The RL6808-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation reading light that serves in the aircraft's lighting system. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.2 pounds, and measures 2.7 (L) x 2.7 (W) x 2.05 (H) Inches.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the RL6808-1 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Ratings, tolerances, and interfaces are what define an electrical part; matching the specified item keeps the system working as certified. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation.
On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front.
The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
