Does anyone have experience with Whelen’s newer Microburst LED Nav/Strobe setup?

At first glance they seem equivalent in functionality to the Aero Leds and/or Aveo products at roughly half the price.

You need to ask do they meet FAA regulation for night flight, able50 see them up and down. Not just outward.

Hey Ben,
One of the RV-8’s I just finished painting has these, and they are NICE in the hangar. He’s not flying yet, but these LED’s put out a lot of light.

Ben,
I have the Microburst III's on my S-7S. They look good, are quite bright, are light weight, draw very little power, and I eliminated the big ol' strobe power supplies from my previous setup.
I like them a lot...

That’s a good point to which I am unsure.
Their website is not the best and I cannot seem to find much in the way of tech doc’s. The Aveo embedded ones are probably the slickest “looking” ones out there but buying those w/tail strobe is well over $1k compared to Whelen’s $499 for all 3. I’m aware of the Kestrel products and ztronlabs.com alternatives but was really wondering about Whelen’s in particular.

A follow up about the Microburst line of lights from Whelen as Patrick eluded to… I did find the install instructions which state right at the top “Product does not meet the requirements of 91.205(c), required equipment for night flight. Airplanes certified for night operation should not consider this product.”
