Position light question

[onex0127]

I have the AVE-WPSTG/R-201, Aveoflash Powerburst position lights and I am looking for a wing tip mount for that lighting system. Does anyone have any ideas? I have seen a few on the wingtips of the sonex and onex. Can anyone help with this?

I used the wingtip mounts from: www.gaugepods.com

If you look under the Aviation section, they have some cheap yet nice mounts made for the Sonex wingtip. I used them and they worked great!

Thanks, Just ordered it :)

Hey Mike and anyone who is interested, I got the wingtip mounts and they do work great. A little big but flows great with the wingtip contour.

Just remember that the Powerburst lights are not TSO'd and technically not legal for night time flight.

Just because they are not built under a TSO authorization does not automatically mean they are not legal. A TSO is only one method of proving compliance. You only need to show that the lights meet the requirements called out by the FAA. There are a couple of FAA Advisory Circulars that address the issues - AC 20-30B, Aircraft Position Lights and Anticollision Lights Installations, and AC 20-74, Aircraft Position and Anticollision Light Measurements. Both are available on the FAA website.

The manufacturer of the lights you are considering should be able to give you data on light color and intensity (AC 20-74). The info in AC 20-30B relates to visibility and coverage of the lights as installed on the aircraft.

So long as you can show that your lights and their installation meets these requirements, you are legal to operate at night.
