Nov 06, 2021     Lighting research - (3.0 hours) Category: Research/Train
Just documenting some decisions on lighting.

Definitely planning on Flyleds, just trying to figure which ones. The combo lights on the wing tips look good, but I worry about forward visibility of the landing light since the wingtip seems to block a bit. Seems like if you do the tip lights, you would need to add a light in the cowl, which they do have. I do like the look of the landing light in the leading edge though. Planning on a leading edge light would allow for their huge seven star light, but I think that might be obnoxious. At the very least a leading edge light will provide more flexibility for future lighting options.

So for know, this is what I'm thinking:
- “The original” Flyleds nav and strobe lighting in the tips $249
- Flyleds combo leading edge taxi/landing light (not the seven star) 2 x $179
- Flyleds tail light (sold separately) $99
- wiring harness $80
- wigwag switch $80
Optional: Aerosport cowl light $100

Question though - can I just use the works controller board with the original tips and leading edge lights?
Follow up answer - landing and taxi lights with wigwag will be controlled through Garmin GAD27.
