Strobe light system

I used em....works great! I have an RV7 and ordered the longer cables up front. I will look up the one I bought and reply later.
 
That is the one I used as well. Get longer the longer cables...

Can't beat the price!!!

+1 for Strobes-N-More

I have 3+ years in service and no problems and the price was right. You also end up with a spare lamp.
 
The one Brian and I used above has the same mount pattern and connector locations as the aviation models do and it has more power. I would not use the "red" version.

Way too much RF with these, unfortunately, and there are also questions about how bright they really are. When they came out last year, I ordered one to see if it would work out. Attached to a 12v battery on the bench, I could hear a very loud chirp on my handheld com....from outside the steel hangar!
 
Strobe Systems

Just a thought on budget strobe systems, Through my work I found a large number of strobe power packs that had come out of scraped police car light bars. These were made by Whelen, are the same size as the dead aircraft one I took out, have the same plugs as the aircraft one and I got three of them for free. The one I installed in my four, is quieter on the radio and seems to work well. The big difference is the flashes are triple and alternating, just like a police car light bar. Free works for me though.
