This is a very worthy upgrade! The price is good compared to other certified LEDs. They install easily. They are VERY bright and the strobe feature is a huge bonus for daytime ops. If you get them out of sequence, one flashing and one not, while installing just simply unscrew one and plug it back in to cycle at the same time as the other. If youre still running incandescent bulbs and you dont want to spend a couple of thousand dollars to upgrade then these are for you.

Very simple installation, lights are very bright and easily visible during the day. Required placard wording is left up to the installer. Would be nice for the company to supply a small placard that a can be applied to the panel.

Installed on a 1965 Citabria 7ECA. Easy installation with no radio interference. Strobe function worked as advertised and have not experienced any out of sync behaviors. Very satisfied with the level of brightness and added safety these bring!

Simple to install the LED components. Worked as advertised. Much brighter than incandescent bulbs and strobes are brighter than I expected from such a small unit. Can see benefits of using these even during day flights and especially in high traffic areas early morning and evening.

Swap a bulb and you have a bright LED solution that is also a blinker - great product. No aparent change in radio reception or squelch. I left the tail nav light in because it is a different Grimes socket. perhaps Ill change it out later.

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.

Q: In the strobe mode, is the red/green color strobing, or is the color remaining on constantly with a white strobe?

Per NavStrobe: The lights strobe the colored LEDs so they are much brighter than a dual colored setup. Besides, the human eye is 4X more sensitive to colored LEDs, so no white LEDs.

Q: Is the strobe feature on the wing tips flashing the color of the bulb or is the strobe white?

Per NavStrobe: The colored LEDs strobe. That is why they will drown out white wingtip strobes as well.

Q: I have wing tip stropes. Can the tail strobe bulb be purchased separately?

Yes, see part # 11-13587 for the tailfin bulb only.

Q: Can this kit (part # 11-18888)be installed in a certified aircraft (such as a Piper PA-22) as an approved drop in replacement?

Per NavStrobe: Yes. Replacement is considered "Elementary work" and allows the owner/operator to replace the existing lamp. The TSO certifies that the kit is a direct replacement for those existing position lamps and is therefore a drop-in replacement.

Q: Does NavStrobe offer a second white light for the tail? My aircraft uses 2 white tail lights as some times the stabilator position covers one light.

Per NavStrobe: If the tail (rear) position lamp is the same GE-93 (12v) or GE-1308 (24v) type for each lamp, then the part # 11-13587 will replace them.

Q: Will the NavStrobe lighting system be powered from a single existing nav light switch, or is another switch required?

No new switch or wire required. Use the existing nav switch and wires.

Q: I have the UAvionix ADS-B out installed on my C-150L on my left wingtip - so I assume this will not work for me- correct ?

Yes, that is correct. these bulbs are drop in replacement for the original Grimes style lighting on many certified general aviation aircraft.

Q: Will these replace a WAMCO UNIVERSAL LAMP A-7512-12 used in a 1966 Cessna 150?

Yes. The Sextant kit is a direct replacement for the A-1512 or A-7512 lamps..

Q: Is there an aircraft eligibility list for the NavStrobe Sextant Aircraft Navigation System with Constant & Fast Strobes 45w FAA-TSO?

Yes, we have added the list to the Documents section of the web page.

Q: The price purchase all that is shown on the photo? If not, what specifically does the price pays for?

Yes, this is a kit and ships as shown in photo.
