If you want to stand out and be visible get yourself the Whelen anti collision beacon along with the Orion 600 and Orion 500. You can chose to synch them so all three strobes flash at once (meaning at least two are visible from any side of the plane) or don't synch them and you're probably still just as noticeable since you'd pretty much always have at lease one flashing. Hers a video of my plane with the Orion 500 (tail position and strobe) with the 600 (wingtip lights). I ended up syncing the rear strobe to flash wing tips. My friend was able to see me from another aircraft about 20nm away and only lost sight of me because I landed. If I didn't sync the lights I would have 4 separate lights flashing randomly. I always get complimented on my lights. From 10miles out you might think I'm a G650 coming in to land. Yeah, don't I wish. IMG_0769.MOV Will syncing the LED strobes decrease the overall brightness of each light compared to if they are not synced and flash individually?

Best regards, -a- This is pretty visible, and not so ugly. 1
