I hear about "Grimes" whenever I go looking at position lights, strobes, or beacons, as if they're the original supplier of those systems, but there doesn't seem to be a Grimes in business any more. Whelen seems to be the 800 lb gorilla in that market.
Did Whelen buy out Grimes sometime in the past? Did Grimes just quietly fold up and go away?
Maybe it's just a footnote in the annals of general aviation equipment manufacturers, but I was just curious what happened to a company that, at one time, was apparently the anti-collision lighting supplier for just about every small aircraft out there.
