I will be building an S7 SS (the kit is on order).  Since I will be attending AirVenture next week, I thought I'd try to purchase a nav/strobe lighting system while I'm there, because sometimes the vendors offer show specials and free shipping.  I have been looking online at both the AeroLED and the AveoFlash LSA systems.  It appears that the AveoFlash system has been further improved since their original system came out.  It appears to be slightly lower in weight, and if I am reading the technical information correctly, it may use slightly less amperage than the AeroLED system.  Also, it is about $155 cheaper than the AeroLED system.  Does anyone have any current experience with both systems?  Is there any good reason not to consider the AveoFlash system over the AeroLED system?  I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer.  

Thanks,

First I have the Aeroled system and it seems to work well, as for the answer you didn't ask for I would wait on this purchase. Unless you are a speed builder there will likely be another Oshkosh (or 2 or more) before you are done and there may well be continued development in these technologies. In general don't buy the techy bits until you need them.

I know, 2 cents you didn't ask for.

I just installed the Whelen Microburst III lights and I think they will be just the "cat's meow." I bought them at Sun'nFun for $359, normally $399.  Take a look at them.  I'll be there in HBC if you'd like to see them. Look for "Columbine" N16KC.

Come down to the UL area and see me if you have the time.  I've got the lemon-yellow Model IV with the standard Whelens...

Considering the rate of advancement of technology is close to double every

six months I think your 2 cents were well spent.

Dave, There is an LED supplier in Illinois called Third Party Designs. I don't have any experience with the product, but it is another alternative. The best advice you are going to get is the advice that told you to wait till you need the part before you buy, especially LED's. But it is good advice for most items. Not only will technology advance, you will see a better alternative many times. I've even pulled a part off to upgrade after installing it before ever using it. Lowell fitt's bush gear is an example. I guess you couldn't buy Kitfox bush gear when I installed the stock landing gear anyway.
