Plenty bright and an easy install. Hardest part was pulling new wire to replace the 60 year old original.

Awesome light. Had to run new wires from the main bus to the tail but it was well worth it for this light. Really bright and no radio interference.

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce Canada's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce Canada assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: Is there any reason the Orion 500 series lights can not be mounted on top of the vertical stabilizer?

Per Whelen, the Orion 500 Series Lights are designed to be mounted on the tail area, vertical stabilizer / rudder etc facing aft. However, the mounting screw holes are at 12 oclock and 6 oclock, not 3 and 9, so a minor modification will be necessary.

Q: Is the OR5001V a direct replacement for the A500AHD1?

Yes, the Orion 500 series (11-11975) is a LED replacement for the strobe style (11-03717).

Q: What is the type and size of wire I should run from cockpit when installing this Whelen Orion 500 series lighting?

We recommend shielded wire, the size will depend on the voltage of your system and the length of the wire.

Q: Can these units be mounted horizontally in a wig tip location as well as vertically in the tail to replace 11-03717 style units?

No, these lights are intended for tail mounting only. For wingtip see the OR 650 series 11-11966.

Q: Do you need a special power supply for the strobe portion of the Whelen Orion 500 series to work?

No, a separate power supply is not necessary to run these LED lights.

Q: Does the Whelen Orion 500 series lighting ship with form 8130?

No, if does not come with an 8130, but you can request it at the time of order for an additional cost.

Q: Can we connect the Whelen Orion 500 nav light wire with the strobe wire or is a separate power source wire necessary?

It is recommended to run a separate power wire for each function. This allows the pilot to turn off the strobe function when it has the potential to interfere with ground operations and other pilots.

Q: Do I need to use shielded wire with the Orion 500 lighting?

No. Shielded wire is not necessary for the Orion product line. Unshielded is acceptable.

Q: Does this rear tail light have a strobe built into it as well as stay lighted consistantly?

It has a steady burn and flash(strobe.)

Q: WHELEN ORION&#-2592;OR5001V / OR5002V POSITION / ANTI-COLLISION TAIL LIGHT WHITE FAA TSO fit a PA18?

It will fit. It has the same footprint as a single bulb tail light.
