LISA is a new Diehl product: Light Interface Standard Adapter, a modular lighting management system that uses an RS485 network to communicate with the light fixtures (also non-Diehl products), a light control panel operated by cabin crew and the CIDS. By using plug-in cards the LISA can be adapted to operate in different environments and configurations, and it can be programmed to blend LED lights and cabin fluorescent lighting for various lighting effects. The LISA also supports different lighting in different cabin zones.

The cabin lighting systems by Diehl Gmbh have been found on aircraft for nearly 30 years, and the newest planes are equipped with their leading edge technology, like the Boeing 777 and the new Airbus A340-500 and A340-600.

Normal cabin lighting is provided by fluorescent tubes that use electronic ballasts to control each individual light. That means the light can be dimmed continuously from full to partial output. Their newest lights include LED's in combination with the fluorescent tubes to provide lights than can be dimmed all the way from 100% to 0% output. New fluorescent fixtures with two tubes instead of one standard tube enable color changes of the lights to change the 'mood' of the cabin:
