A lighting system for an aircraft having at least one rotationally mounted propeller assembly that includes hub and a plurality of rotor blades extending radially away from the hub includes a light source and an optical element. The light source is mounted within the hub and is configured, upon being energized, to emit light in a first direction. The optical element is mounted within the hub and is disposed to receive the light emitted by the light source and is configured, upon receipt of the light, to redirect the light radially outward from the hub so that the light reflects off the rotor blades.
