Replaced the older Whelen light on my 1971 Cherokee PA28 180F. Very bright, excellent fit, pretty simple install.

It was an easy install on my 54 c170b. The old whelen strobe had 3 wires and the nav light wire was there also so there was no need to add any wiring. The lights are perfect and bright. A pilot could not see my strobes at 2 miles on a clear day but they seem bright on the ground. A warning sticker for the strobe would have been a nice thing to include and is recommended/required due to the intensity of the strobe. Overall, very satisfied. Removed 2 pounds and some amps from the plane! No noticeable r/f noise either.

Direct replacement for my older wingtip lights on my 65 Comanche. These enabled me to remove the strobe power supplies in the wingtip shaving off 2.5 lbs of weight. They look sharp and are really bright. The price is high but that’s the case with aviation and quality products. This was a great project to give my plane a facelift and reduce electrical load. Install time if just removing the old one and the old strobe power supply was about an hour a side. I ran a sync wire from wing tip to wing tip that added another couple hours but it was worth it.

The Orion 650 is a great replacement for the factory fit Nav/strobe unit. Easy to install as it has the same footprint

Q&A

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: Does this come with all mounting hardware/brackets for a Cessna 172M ? My mechanic seemed to think something else was required, but I have not seen any other bracket options.

Some Cessnas require a wingtip adapter. You will need to verify with your A&P to determine if your aircraft requires one. Example adapter part number is 11-18768.

Q: Do you sell appropriate shielded wiring to install in my Cessna wings with connectors for theses Orion 650 strobes/Nav?

Part number 11-18776 would work. It is 20awg 4 conductor shielded wire.
