An aircraft light assembly is disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the aircraft light assembly includes a tunable liquid crystal lens with an electrically controlled liquid crystal layer. The aircraft light assembly further includes a light source configured to direct light through the tunable liquid crystal lens and a controller coupled to the tunable liquid crystal lens. The controller is configured to generate an electrical signal that produces a uniform or non-uniform adjustment of the tunable liquid crystal lens, resulting in at least one of a dispersing, shaping, or steering of the light as the light passes through the tunable liquid crystal layer of the tunable liquid crystal lens. In embodiments, the controller is configured to generate the electrical signal based upon an input from an aircraft control system and/or an aircraft user interface.
