LED light upgrade on GA Aircraft ( Whelen Orion )

Post by proppilot »

Hi All, many of us/you are starting upgrade to LED lights on our aircraft. We just finished a complete exterior lighting upgrade on our Rockwell Commander 112 that I wanted to share

We replaced the beacon at the top as well as the wings and stinger. There was a great article written by Mike Stewart at AeroDynamix which is where I ended up buying the Whelen Orions from. Mike was super helpful and Spruce was showing early March for one of the lights.

Here is a link to the lights in operation. They are incredibly bright !

After making new molex harness/connections in the wings and tail, I ended up reusing the old strobe cables and terminated at a new terminal block mounted where the old Whelen power supply was.
