I noticed the ad on page 75 of the Feb Kitplanes for Kuntzlman Electronics touting their all LED lighting systems. A visit to their web site and a discussion on the phone confirmed that they have an RV-10 light package to compete with the Van's SYS 6 and it's all LED.

Many years ago as a drunken sailor on infrequent shore leave I used to buy the girl in the short skirt's line and go for it. I've done it again. Got the package today and I'm impressed so far. If anyone is interested, I'll be glad to post or e-mail my findings as I install it. The savings is significant and it appears to be the real thing.

I assume you mean "DDM-RV"?

 I like the LED strobe combo - 

  

Round COMBO Taillight with LEDs & Strobe   Weight: 4 ounces, Exposed Height: 1.4", Mounting holes are 2" on center and a  1.4" center hole, Mounting configuration: Vertical or Horizontal 

TL-L/S   $$130.00 

same  price as the Van's Whelen taillight option- I already have the Whelen or I would  probably jump on this offering. 

I am  interested in your findings- 

Thanks! 

Pascal

I don't have an A500 to compare but the tail light appears to have a 1&5/16" insert 3/4" deep. 5 wires - blue & white together, then black, red, aquamarine out of a grey sleeve. The exposed part is a pair of flanges and a glass dome extending out 1&5/16". The flange is about 1&11/16" narrow and 2&5/8" wide overall. Two screws on the wide part of the flange at approx. 2". It will require a little flox buildup to streamline it to the RV-10 tail light position but it will be easy. Inside the glass dome is a strobe and two large LEDs. Wing lights are similar in size and makeup - very clean looking with only two LEDs each. All wiring included.



We will see....

OK, I'll try to attach some photos. As far as I'm concerned this lights are perfect for me. $620 plus $9 shipping. Everything in package including wiring connections, etc. The power supply is called the Driver and it fits on the Van's optional Strobe/ELT mount although the nutplates are for a smaller unit. I'll just modify the mount to fit.

If its the same tail unit I bought - note that you'll have to do a little

work to get it to fit in fairing hole - I think its a little bigger diameter

than the standard unit from Whelen.
