Jon M Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Does anyone know where to find an oval strobe light lense for our 78 J? The one I ordered is oblong. I see entire assemblies used on line but just need a lense. Thanks for any help here. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oval Whelen lenses would be an A612 which is different than your picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I have some of them, but they are plastic and look like crap. If you need one to get you by, let me know, but otherwise you should find a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received the oval lense as the suggested replacement from Wat and found today that I do indeed need a round lense. They don't seem to be as available. Do you know a vender for the round lense? I saw in one post that a Piper tail light lense may work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 The round lens from a tail position light might fit. There were Hoskins strobes used in some airplanes and some other airframes used Aeroflash Signal Corp lights, they used round lenses.
