Hi Terry,

  

 I also have the GS Air strobe light and LED position light combos.   After 50 hours of flying, they're working great.  I wired them using a 10  amp fuse off the main bus and 16 AWG wire for the power and grounds (composite  airplane).  I think the 15 amp fuse specified in the instructions is way  overkill.  The 16 AWG wires fit in the connectors fine. 

  

 Good luck,

 Dennis Johnson

 Lancair Legacy, now flying and Phase 1 flight test  completed

   Any chance you could get us a current measurement on this

   system? Preferably with an analog ammeter. The current is

   going to be jumping around each time it flashes. It would

   be useful to have a max and min reading as best as you

   can visually capture it.

I'll take the measurements and post the results next time I'm at the hangar, which will probably be Tuesday.



I'm pretty sure I can get a peak current measurement using my digital VOM.  I bought a cheap analog meter based on the recommendation in the Connection, so I should be able to eyeball and average using that.



Best,

Dennis Johnson
