 I've searched the archives, and have revisited all the sites mentioned

 that others have had with the brands mentioned. As well as any new 

 manufacturers of LED navigation and strobe lights for my Long EZ 

 similar to the physical configuration of the A600 series that haven't 

 been mentioned yet.

Hi Don...

 

 Nope, my search hasn't shown any that use LEDs for strobes either.  But the new strobe power supplies for the units like the Skybright weigh less than half what the Whelen that I have now does. 

 

 That alone is worth it for me.

 

 However, there ARE LED strobes, but I don't see any for aviation use.  They seem to need too many LEDs to produce enough light to replace that single bulb that regular strobes use. See: http://tinyurl.com/6ga3pw

It doesn’t look like the strobes in the Skybright lights are LED; in fact, I haven’t found any sources for LED strobe lights.  Does anybody know of a source for LED strobe lights?

I'm looking into replacing my old Whelen nav and Strobe lighting (A600...all in one type) for my Long EZ with LEDs.  To save a little weight, of course, and for longer bulb life and to reduce my electron inventory.

As well as any new manufacturers of LED navigation and strobe lights for my Long EZ similar to the physical configuration of the A600 series that haven't been mentioned yet. 

   

   I'm currently leading toward Whelen's (an exact replacement for the A600, but a bit too pricey), and Skybrights ( www.airplanegear.com/skybright.htm ). 

   

   Any other suggestions or comments are always welcome.

check out  www.aveousa.net ,they seem to have a combo Navigation Light and LED strobe light. Never seen or used on but it looks promising. 



I have the aeroled landing light, with built in wig-wag for my nose/landing light. Works great, bright as heck!
