Default RV-7 Replacing Nav/Strobes

I must replace failing Aeroflash Nav/Strobe
073-0530G-12 fixtures which are mounted on my RV-7 battwing. I?m finding several on the market to choose from. Has anyone replaced what I have described. Please share your thoughts.

I replaced my old nav/strobe/position wingtip lights with AeroLED Pulsar series and was pleased with the ease of installation and very, very pleased with the performance and brightness. They are easy to reach and extremely helpful. I know there are many high quality products out there so my thoughts are only out of my experience.
Best,
David

Default FlyLeds

My Ztron nav/strobes crapped out a short time ago. They?re out of business. In the process of installing the FlyLeds nav/strobes in the middle of my Condition Inspection. I?m a builder so like the DIY kit. Excellent instructions. Performance & appearance look good. Have seen them on other RVs. They are an advertiser on the VAF home page, check them out.

I recently installed a set of the FlyLEDs on my Rocket. Great kit and support. It was a fun build. They are crazy bright

Default Flyleds

At the risk of sounding like a member of a cult, I really like my Flyleds. Here are some pictures, in case it can help. Plus I like adding pictures to my posts.

Default The Cult of FlyLED

Another happy customer here. I'm not a builder but still enjoyed installing the "works" kit in my -7A. Easy assembly & install, great product, & great support.

What a pleasant surprise. I just received my order. Aeroleds LED Position, Anti-Collision and Sun Tail fixtures are an impeccable piece of work. Fine machine work and led layout quality. I?m very impressed with the design. Looking forward to the installation and final result.
