F li g h t lin e AeroLEDs Announces New Sunbeam Landing/Taxi/Recognition Light AeroLEDs has completed testing on its new Sunbeam landing/taxi/recognition light that features two intense light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Featuring a 50,000-hour life, the Sunbeams are produced in a rectangular format to fit the Cirrus SR-22, a variety of light-sport and experimental aircraft. overheating with a built-in protection circuit and is also secured against lightning, voltage spikes, reverse voltage, and under voltage conditions. The Sunbeam is 2.8-inch high, 4.03-inch wide, and 1.36inch deep. It sells for $499. For further information, visit www.AeroLEDs.com or call 208-850-3294. AeroLEDs has created a reliable light source that requires only 25 watts of power to produce more than 100 watts or 60,000 candela, which amounts to 1600-plus lumens. Featuring wig-wag capability, the AeroLEDs on any aircraft can be seen in hazy daylight long before people can make out the airframe; because of their long life they can be active at all times. Individual lights have a built-in pulsing capability that is nearly as effective as the wig-wagging. Sunbeams can be installed by an IA, using a 337 form for certificated aircraft. The IA will file the paperwork. In most circumstances the light will outlast the life of the aircraft. Like all AeroLEDs products, the Sunbeam is completely sealed and is rugged. It is protected against Wicks Aircraft Offers Aircraft Hardware Kit In light of recent high-profile disasters related to faulty or worn-out hardware, Wicks Aircraft has assembled the most popular hardware components into a handy kit (p/n Hardware Package).
