The part is perfect, except the wires need to be longer. Twice as long would be just perfect. That way it would fit multiple aircraft without having to retrofit.

Worked great for my Cessna 150. Although inconsequential for my application, it has shorter leads than the original (as stated by the manufacturer), so keep that in mind.

Pricey little unit to bring light to the wing end tips! Don’t touch the bulb! They go out quicker! One item to keep in backup kit.

This is the perfect replacement for a Grimes Model E Strobe. Sometimes it’s hard to track down proper PNs, but this is the one for it.

Showed up quickly! Previous strobe light worked for 25 years. Hope to get the same out of this one.

Item received prior to promised delivery date. Wiring harness was longer than original part so it made replacement easier than anticipated

Great replacement and received earlier than projected. The wiring was several inches shorter than the original one, but was not an issue.

The pig tail is 6 inches shorter than the original aero flash product. It’s in the avionics shop now for lengthening.

The product was excellent and worked as described.

The retainer was the correct retainer, but it was necessary to call Whelen to determine which retainer was the correct one to use as a retainer. The A429 is an older system than the newer A650 system and both look very similar. Note that there was no connecting screw included. The connection of the retainer is somewhat fragile an it is necessary to obtain the proper size and type of screw to use to fix the retainer to the assembly. If the original retainer was lost in flight that may mean that the attachment point has worn and an oversized screw may be required.

This was the correct lens. It was necessary to call Spruce to determine that this lens was the correct lens to use as a replacement.

Order was requested red UPS and arrived the next day. While it was important to have the pins and connectors as back-up, they were not needed. JKM

Works great. Must use AMP connector for Cessna SkyHawk-NOT Molex. Learned the hard way!

Fits perfectly on my C210 wingtip strobe. Only reason why not 5 stars is the cost…

This replacement strobe tube assy was for a legacy Grimes system that worked perfectly as a Whelen replacement. It required calling the help line at Whelen, however to find the correct part number. Amazing that Spruce had two in stock! Thank you!!

The connector is well but the photo is confusing for order. Best regards Yves

I was actually looking Molex connectors and thought ‘tis was the same since I didn’t see Molex in the the catalog.

I bought 2 sets of Whelen wing tip strobes and Whelen Red and Green wingtip Position lights, the Molex connectors and wiring are not long enough to make a connection with the existing Molex connector on my airplane, so I had to buy 2 sets of male and female connectors and had to have a wiring harness made for the additional length, Whelen should make their wiring longer, it cost me over $100.00 to buy additional parts and have the harness made.
