Aspen2013 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Posted September 14, 2020 Has anyone converted to LED? The tail strobe light looks straight forward. I know you have to remove the power supply units. I have heard that you can then use the power supply wire to be used as a sync wire. Do you have to splice some length into the power wire for it to reach the new LED Light? Are the wingtip power supply units located closer to the wing tip or where? Any tips greatly appreciated

Any tips greatly appreciated i did. mine are not synced at the moment. there is an extra wire i was going to use to sync them together. its a drain wire according to the schematics. i think i can wire those together and then connect them at the center connector. i haven't got that far yet. plane is getting some avionics work at the moment.
carusoam Posted September 14, 2020 Report Posted September 14, 2020 For strobe questions... I like to ask the MS tech guru with a specialty in Whelen hardware.... @OSUAV8TER (LED tail strobe conversion question...) Best regards, -a-
Aspen2013 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Posted September 14, 2020 That is who I purchased them from. He helped answer questions but not a mechanic and not expert on every plane out there.

Aspen2013 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Posted September 14, 2020 Changing all the ACL and POS. The tail is easy one. The panel on the tail has 4 screws that holds power supply on back side. Don’t see any panels like that under the wings??

On the Acclaim the power supplies may be riveted onto an access panel.
hypertech Posted September 14, 2020 Report Posted September 14, 2020 I don't know where they put them in 2008, but in 2000, the wingtip strobe power supplies are in the tail on the forward bulkhead. I did not need to pull any new wires to the wing tips.
