 |
|
Did anyone else see the new generation Aveo landing lights (at) OSH this year?
Here is their verbage - AveoMaxxT landing/taxi/wigwag light module and the
AveoMaxxT Premiere 6-in-1 embedded wingtip light solution
(Taxi-WigWag-Landing-Nav-Posistion-Strobe). Web site is:
aveoaviationlights.com for those interested.
Has anyone purchased them? If so have you "fired them up"? How do they
compare to other brand HID's? Am looking for someone's input who has
purchased/used them if possible. They supposedly use an LED with Lazer
technology. All that sounds great but my question is how does the RUNWAY
LOOK at night in comparing them to HIDs? Better, worse, same? It is
difficult to imagine them any better than a "top of the line" 50 Watt HID,
but am looking for real world input???
Yes, they look cool, and yes their Nav/strobe combo bolts right on the side
of the landing light fixture and yes the entire fixture will fit in our wing
tip space. But, at their price (quoted $2600 at OSH for Nav/strobe/landing
light combo - both sides) I'd sure appreciate some input from fellow
flyer/builders... Thanks to all!

Hey, I am really interested too! I have been waiting for these to come out.
The Aveo dudes said these won't come out until mid September. I know the
HID's are great but they said these are even brighter! I would pay for
these just for the fact they are easy to install and hoolk right to the nav
lights. They quoted me 2700, hope they come down a little. If not I will
spend 1000 for LED position lights and strobes then buy the two HID'S. Oh
ya the LED's would be a lot easier to wig wag with no power up.

Check these out at the bottom of the page. This is what I am ordering. What I have ordered from these guys so far has been high quality.

Wow, $2,700. That is a lot of $. I think if one wanted to work with some of the Auto HID kits you could do dual HID's (~$150.00 each), Red/Green LED Position Lights ($75.00 total including sockets) and a premium Wig/Wag (XePulse ~$200.00). All that for under $600.00. Add two blank Duckworks leading edge cutouts ($130.00 pair). All in you have a great lighting system for under $750.00. If you don’t want to cut your leading edge and wish to place the landing lights in the wing tips (not ideal for lighting based on my prior RV experience) you can get the Auto HID's that use the same bulb size as the standard Vans wing tip lights.

I don’t know of anyone saw the posting by Sam Buchannan where he used colored mirrored plexi as the backing for his position lights adding pizaz of his position lights and reflecting his strobes. Really cool look and again inexpensive. ~$6.00 each plus shipping.

Turns our I am more frugal than I thought! The $2,000 savings gets you ALMOST a full set of front & rear leather Seats from Classic Aero. $3,000 for lights looks like a lot to me…

That is a big difference. I should go the cheaper route. Scott Schmidt has the HID's in the wingtip and I don't know why I should even look at anything else. Why do I need brighter than that? Maybe I will be able to afford my G900 now....NOT!
Really wish I had the time yesterday to see your plane Robin. I am back in SLC now. What airport do you keep your plane at?
