AeroLEDs releases new MicroSun taxi/recognition light

By Janice Wood · January 30, 2013 ·

AeroLEDs has increased the light output of its MicroSun light from 5,000 candela to 8,000. Originally designed as a direct replacement for recognition lights in the wingtip of Cirrus aircraft, the MicroSun has proven popular with Experimental, LSA and special-use applications, according to company officials.

The MicroSun draws a fraction of the power required for a comparable halogen light, but has a life expectancy of 50,000 hours, officials add.

Each MicroSun has built in pulse and wig wag features, weighs 3.5 ounces and can withstand temperatures of -55°C to +70°C.

The MicroSun is protected against overheating with a built-in protection circuit and can be installed in 12Vdc or 24Vdc electrical systems. It is also sheltered against lightning, voltage spikes, reverse voltage and under voltage conditions.

Price: $350.
