Aveo Lights
I have the Aveo Ultra Embedded Galactica and the PosiStrobe XP lights. They are light and bright. I had a minor issue with one of the lights and Rick Lindstrom, Aveo Southwest, helped me with good technical advice. When I could not resolve the issue, Rick replaced the light quickly. I spoke with Rick today and there is more to the story about the TSO lights. I hope he adds a reply to this thread with the rest of the story.

Kahuna please stop posting lies about AeroLEDs Pulsar NSP performance. That graph is flat out wrong.

Dean, you're sure welcome to post a correct version of the graph, identifying the dates or serial numbers to which it applies, and the test company that supplied the results you post.
Respectfully, Dave |
You might want to discuss that issue with the lab that did the testing, not with the man reporting the results.

The data posted is not accurate, even for the date claimed. Whelen filed a complaint with the FAA several years ago, and was pushing that exact graph at that time. The FAA did an audit of our lights in our manufacturing facility, with optical measurements, and found that the Whelen claims were not valid.
We sent a cease and desist letter to Whelen at that time, and they removed that graph from their website. Now Kahuna is trotting out the same graph and making the same false claims. I am well aware that Aveo has been making TSO claims for many years, and am aware of the FAA letter that just came out. We at AeroLEDs have been very careful to only claim TSO when we have an actual TSO letter issued from the FAA granting TSOA. I am more than happy to post a graph showing the actual NSP performance.

NS Strobe
Here is what the Pulsar NS series anti-collision light performance measures:

Dean, I see that the graph that you object to identifies the Aeroleds light data as applying to an NSP, and the graph that you just provided is for a different model, the NS.
Does the NSP have the same performance? What serial numbers of light do the graphed data apply to? I have not yet bought wingtip lights for my RV-3B project, but I have an Aeroleds Microsun landing light that I've installed. As I intend to fly day VFR in congested airspace, brightness is important to me. Dave RV-3B, wings built, now on fuselage |
The NS and NSP are identical except for the rear position light. The graph applies to the 01-1180 and 11-1180 part numbers, but the older 01-1080 and 11-1080 part numbers aren't a whole lot lower, and all of them are above the 400 candela mark.
