I'd put my 10,000+ lumens of LED landing lights against your HID's any day of the week. Total draw with all three lamps = 120W (40W each), 3,400 lumens each. Each one is about 12x brighter than the GE quartz I used to run in the cowling. I've done the math and my landing lights (wig-wag or...

The radio noise is solved by simply adding a noise limiting circuit to the device power input. For example only... add a 12VDC capacitor to the power leg of the lamp and the noise goes away! Most LED lamps now have this incorporated in the lamps themselves. See my previos post on Rigid R+...

I'll bet those LED's illuminating the rotary engines are not PMA'd!

Sorry for the less than desirable FAA references, I am passionate about this subject. I just cannot understand why everyone limits themselves to PMA'd lights? The industry created the false appearance that certification was required and for PART 91 it is not. End of story, guaranteed: the...

Look no further than the Rigid R+ Narrow Beam 62010 series lamp. I do not believe there is a brighter lamp in a PAR36 shell at this time for the money ($210 range). At 3,400 lumens each, I have 3 of them (wingtip lights and cowling) and have WIGWAG in the tips as an optional mode to boot...

Yes, lots to think about for THEIR engineers. Why? Because after countless emails between myself and ACK, the remote cable being unshielded is all they could come up with. They had me measure distances between all transmitting antennas and everything was within spec. They asked me to...

Want to offer an update... My ELT is well out of warranty and thus if my personal modifications do not resolve this very intermittent issue, I am on my own to replace it if I choose to. What do I believe to be the issue? The non-shielded, non-twisted RJ11 wire that runs th length of the...

Photo attached. Cables were tye-wrapped to optimize placement in my plane; I kept it under the pilot seat, oit of sight, out of mind. They can certainly be cut. 100% operational, sold "as-is"

The FAA has NEVER made a mistake? Manufacturers of aircraft parts and upgrades have NEVER made a mistake? PMA's are always justified? Or just an excuse for manufacturers to waste money to make some paper pushers happy? You trust the FAA with your life? You trust the government with your...

I installed them, I love them, I'm not removing them. They are brighter, run cool (safer from a fire risk) and the strobe feaure is great when I want to turn my hangar into a disco, along with my unsynchronized tail and belly strobes and my wig-wag wingtip lights. It's a flipping bulb...

You are ALL missing the PERFECT solution. I bought these at Oshkosh last year, met the inventor, great guy. Invented them in his garage, PMA'd and WAY brighter than anything I've every seen (damn near have to turn them off in IMC) and they offer a strobe mode as a bonus for better visibility on...

Wow, my very first post and I'm insulted by someone who completely misinterprets my overall message. What in the world are you talking about MAKG? Do you and all your buddies turn off your ELT's every time you leave your plane? If a tornado launched your plane into a barn, you wouldn't want a...

I am selling my SkyRadar ADS-B receiver "as-is" and yes, it's fully tested and operational. Served me very well for about 3 years. Selling because I upgraded to a Stratus-2 to gain the AHRS capability. Model: SkyRadar (single band) ADS-B receiver with traffic Compatible with most iPad aviation...

A couple other notes before I get hammered... (1) YES the operator's manual calls for regular testing of the remote control panel (verifying audible alarm and LED function) and YES I neglected that a couple times. (2) While there is no penalty for false alarms, if the Air Force keeps getting...

Yes, this has happened to me THREE times since upgrading to my ACK A-04 406 ELT less than 2 years ago (during my plane's IFR re-cert). First time, like your situation, happened on the ramp. My son and I had flown about an hour in perfect VFR to a $100 hamburger. I received a phone call and...
