Frequently Asked Questions
What are the installation requirements for the SunSpot 36 and 46?
The SunSpot 36LX landing and taxi lights and SunSpot 46LX can be installed with just a log book entry if you can install the light in an existing mount and use the existing wires, switches, and circuit breakers.
The SunSpot 36HX landing and taxi lights and SunSpot 46HX can be installed with the pulse function enabled in any model listed on the AML under STC, or in other aircraft models with a 337 that uses the AML STC as a basis for approval.
What are the installation requirements for the TSO lights?
If the lights are mounted to an existing mounting location with no structural modifications and existing wiring can be re-used, the lights can be installed with a log book entry.
If there are modifications to the wiring, a 337 should be submitted for approval for the installation.
If there are structural modifications made to mount the lights, a more extensive approval may be required, ranging from a 337 to an STC.
What is the difference between the Pulsar NS and the Pulsar NSP?
The Pulsar NS has a forward red or green navigation light and a strobe that covers 180 degrees from each wing tip.
The Pulsar NSP has a forward red or green navigation light, a strobe that covers 180 degrees from each wing tip, and a rear white position light.
What is the recommended wire for the Pulsar and SunTail lights?
We recommend 3 conductor 20 gauge shielded single bundle wire.
LED products convert power directly into light, are far more efficient than incandescent lights, draw less current, and require no external power supply. LEDs turn on instantly, dissipate minimal heat, and are unaffected by on/off cycles. Choose LED lighting for superior brightness, clarity, range, and visibility you can count on!
Beacons are available in red, red/white split, and white.
