PTK Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 I have always wanted to pulse the landing light and finally found some time to finish this little project. Pulse is a totally separate circuit on its own cb switch. Independent of landing light and strobes. The wingtips are Orion 650E ACL/nav lights. 5
cliffy Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 What did you record it on? Can't get access unless a new codec is bought
carusoam Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Working well with an iPad... May need to see an eye dr. afterwards though... -a- 2
RLCarter Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Works on new iPad mini but not on my older one. I understand it gets the attention of other aircraft but how is it for landing behind? Seems like it would screw with your depth perception

steingar Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Why? Are you using it to communicate with space aliens in Morse code?
cliffy Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Looks good Are you going to pursue an STC for it?

Assuming you can switch off the pulse so that it is just on steady for ground ops, take off, and landing? What kind of switch do you have it wired to?

What kind of switch do you have it wired to? I wired the pulse on its own cb switch for flexibility. So it operates independently from the landing light and of course from the strobes and navs. Switching ldg lite on overrides the pulse circuit and goes to steady on. I was going to tie it into with the strobe but I had an spare ldg lite cb switch so used that instead.
PJClark Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 cool. What parts did you use to make it do that? Looks like you have the landing light alternately pulsing with the recognition lights? I've been thinking of doing the same so I'm very interested in "how" and "with what stuff". Oh wait....the AeroLed PAR 36 has its own wig wag circuit...maybe you used one of those?

I researched the Aeroleds and found them too expensive for what they are. The landing light is the Aero-Lites fusion par 46. 2
cliffy Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 OK NOW I see that you used an STC'd system At first (with no mention of same) I thought you came up with your own circuit system. Like I said looks good! 1
MooneyMitch Posted May 2, 2020 Report Posted May 2, 2020 I installed one of these. I’m satisfied with the unit. It pulses my Whelen LED landing light. 3
keithmiller Posted June 5, 2020 Report Posted June 5, 2020 You can also get the lights from Areo led which has the wig wag built into the actual bulb . I have them on my 2009 acclaim but both lights are in the wing not the wing tip .
