Closing in is my delivery of my QB wings. Prior to shipment I need to decide if I want the stock Wingtip and Lenses or not. That decision depends on my choice of landing lights.
I fly now and plan to fly in the future at night. So the brightness of the landing lights is a concern for me. I also would prefer not to cut into the leading edge of the wing so that seems to limit my choices a bit.
I'm leaning towards the Aveo Ziptips right now. I talked to another Justin who put them on his RV-10 and he said they're extremely bright. He did say he had some issues just because he was the first person to install him. Cost is a bit of a factor too, one place I call quoted me at $2400 for the set... so you deduct the stock tips and lenses and you might be looking at $2K for this solution (not including a rudder light).
The other option is to use AEROLeds in the stock Wingtip's regular place. Looks like you could a pair of Pulsar NS90s & two Sunray Plus's for the landing lights. Plus you can but a complete set including the rudder position/strobe for around $1600.
I'm looking to see if someone has installed these AEROLed Sunray's into the tip and find the light bright. I know that's somewhat subjective but bright to me would mean seeing the runway at about 50 ft up.
So I'm on the fence, if it turns out these AEROLed's are similiar in brightness to the Aveo Ziptips then it really just comes down to the $800 delta and if the neatness and 180 degree recognition of the Ziptips is worth it to me.
Thanks
