If you change the orginal 12V nav light to your wing tip system, what is the net change in amperage? Do you have to add a CB to the panel or can you route the power through the old nav light CB?

Thanks

Hi Tom, if you are using something like a Norman Lamp 7512-12, they are pulling about half an amp. Call it 0.50. The 14V Orion 650E LED nav light draws 0.30 amp a side so you are saving .40 amps just with the navigation lights. With the strobes it is more significant but it is dependent on your strobe power supply. The Orion 650E strobe averages 0.70 amp a side with a peak of 3.6 amps. A Whelen HDACF strobe power supply takes a constant 7 amps but you probably have a Grimes box in there so not exactly sure what model or the power draw on that.

Everyone uses the existing switches and circuit breakers to the best of my knowledge.

I just shipped out a 28V 72170 5 light kit and I have an excellent inventory of these in both 14V and 28V.

I finally got some comparative photos of the new 72170 versus the legacy 71125 LED recognition lights. The 72170 20 degree was installed in my right wingtip while the legacy 71125 20 degree is installed in the left wing. My wingtip kit allows you to aim the recognition light in the bracket but for these photos I did not do any aiming. I will attempt to do that later for further projection.

I just shipped another one of these 72170 series kits. I've edited the image a little bit to articulate the difference better. If you purchased a kit with the older 71125 series lights, they are eligible for upgrade to the 72170 series. Unfortunately I do not have any trade in specials or anything like that.

Two more of these kits just went out (one with an Alpine kit!). I have an excellent inventory of all 14V and 28V kits with the 71125 and 72170. Everyone is pretty much going with the 72170 kit now so I'm thinking about making a good cut in the 71125 price. Maybe $100 off if anyone is interested in that? So $2,750 to $2,650. We'll see.

I am going to be shipping several kits on Monday and I have an excellent inventory of 14V and 28V kits in stock and ready to go.

These kits are 10% off for Oshkosh through Sunday, July 28th. I have an excellent inventory of all 14V and 28V kits. The website is active so just click on the link and the promotional pricing is already applied.

I have an excellent inventory of these kits on the shelf and ready to go. I'm also really close to expanding the AML to include P Barons, TCs, Dukes, and some other aircraft that were accidentally left off. Once that is complete we'll have all Barons and Bonanzas on the list!

We are very close to expanding the AML of this STC to include P Barons, TC Barons, Dukes, and other models that were left off the initial AML. Attached is a draft of the AML that is with the FAA, currently. Those highlighted in yellow are the changes that are currently circulating for approval.

The pricing on these kits will be going up soon. Whelen is taking a price increase and that will flow down through resellers in due course. So, get it while you can. I promise you the prices on the website are good through at least the end of the month. Beyond that is still a little bit of a mystery at the moment.

My wingtip kits are 10% off through Friday, December 6th and we have an excellent inventory of them in 14V and 28V. They feature the new Whelen 72170 series LED recognition light (10 degree is standard) and we should have the AML amended by the FAA this week to include P Barons, TC Barons, Dukes, and pretty much every other Bonanza and Baron that was left off the initial AML. The bottom line is that the STC will cover every Bonanza, Baron, and Duke out there (as long as you have wrap around wingtip lenses). Link is below.

Forgive my ignorance, is the bonanza bottom beacon required or can you buy just the one on the tail and be legal?

You need to look at your Bonanza's equipment list because it may have been certified with a belly beacon. It's not a show stopper, removal of the belly beacon will need some paperwork from a mechanic. The beacon on the vertical stabilizer will provide compliant anti-collision lighting coverage in accordance with the TSO.

So yes, the tail only will work.

The AML for this STC now includes P Barons, TC Barons, Dukes, and many additional Bonanzas and NA Barons. Basically, it covers everything Beechcraft, now. Attached is the AML.

I have an excellent inventory of these kits ready to ship.
