Rich,

   

  I flew a Vari-EZ with Kuntzelman strobes. They worked great and were the original strobes when the FAA inspector signed the plane off for nighttime VFR. The units are steamlined and can be mounted on a flat surface or on curved surfaces. The lenses are clear, but I have seen folks color red one of the two units.

   

  I put a new set on my Glasair this spring - one on top behind the canopy and one on bottom behind the wing. I asked several pilots for feedback on visibility of the plane, both on the ground, in the pattern when viewed from the ground, and air-to-air en route and in the pattern. All comments were favorable. This is in distinct contrast to the negative feedback I received with the wing tip units, which are recessed on the Glasair.



    I have had good service getting a new bulb - I banged it hard on the Vari-EZ while doing other maintenance work - oops. For the new units, the lady was very friendly and threw in enough cabling so that I wouldn't have to make any splices.

   

  I do pick up a bit of strobe signature over the LightSpeed 20's when the engine is off and things are real quiet in the cockpit. Under normal ops, I can't hear the strobes. NOTE: This soft noise was present with the original Whelans still in the wing tip units, so I cannot point to the new Kuntzelman strobes as generating any noise.

Greetings,



I am asking for a friend who is nearing completion of

his airplane.



Strobe sets cost $900



Thee police cares in the Long Island New York area

have strobes in their marker lights. 



Is anyone familiar with them?



Any possibility that they could be used in out

aircraft?



And likewise with the automotive LED replacement

bulbs?



-Rich

Anyone fimiliar with the Zaon flight systems traffic avoidance system ? 

Looks promising and has a RS232 output which may make it compatible for 

showing traffic on a PFD.  And from what I've read it will pick up traffic 

pretty much anywhere in the USA.
