Hardest part was pulling new wire, used shielded even though not necessarily required to make sure of quiet radios.

It was an easy install on my 54 c170b.
The old whelen strobe had 3 wires and the nav light wire was there also so there was no need to add any wiring. The lights are perfect and bright. A pilot could not see my strobes at 2 miles on a clear day but they seem bright on the ground. A warning sticker for the strobe would have been a nice thing to include and is recommended/required due to the intensity of the strobe. Overall, very satisfied. Removed 2 pounds and some amps from the plane! No noticeable r/f noise either.

Direct replacement for my older wingtip lights on my 65 Comanche. These enabled me to remove the strobe power supplies in the wingtip shaving off 2.5 lbs of weight. They look sharp and are really bright.
The price is high but that’s the case with aviation and quality products. This was a great project to give my plane a facelift and reduce electrical load.
Install time if just removing the old one and the old strobe power supply was about an hour a side. I ran a sync wire from wing tip to wing tip that added another couple hours but it was worth it.

Great pruduct, highly reccomend. Fits same footprint and nutplate pattern of my old Whelen strobe/nav light. Got rid of old high-voltage stobe power supply, saving 1.1lbs per wing.
Only slight issue was the new strobe baseplate is flat, whereas the old strobe had a slight cavity so it would sit against the slight curvature if my wingtip. Solved by fabricating gasket from 1/8 foam material, Could probably also have just used proseal under baseplate too.

Weve chosen to install these on all our club planes as we were on a program to rewire to new standards. The LED technology is well applied, light weight and very bright. Units are rather pricey, hence the four star review.
