Best Price for AeroLed Nav/Strobe or eqv?

[gordodavis]

Has anyone purchased the Aveo Powerburst lights yet. I can not find any info concerning if they comply night and IFR regs. They look pretty good and the price is right.

Does anybody know how many Lumens a typical incandescant light puts out? Aero LEDS. What is everybody buying? Sunspot 64 for a landing light? I am doing an RV-8 and am wondering which way to go.

Here is a comparison for lumens that should help you, the Sunspot 64 is meant to replace the PAR64 bulbs on large (i.e. 737, DC-3, etc.) aircraft and are a bit large for an RV. The Sunspot 46 and 36 lights are equivalent to PAR46 and PAR36 bulbs found on light singles:

PAR36 Size Sunspot 36HX 100W Incandescent 30W HID
1500 lumens 1200 lumens 1800 lumens

PAR46 Size Sunspot 46 250W Incandescent 50W HID
6700 lumens 4600 lumens 4500 lumens

Note that the lumens given are only what ends up directly in the beam, there is light that goes off at other angles that is not included in the above numbers.

The lights look great like they were built for the purpose. Check them out at www.aveoengineering.com. Aircraft Spruce sells them.

The Aveo products are not the cheapest out there but the quality is exceptional. Additionally, life time warranty.

Excellent stuff.

except that the 6in1's are not out yet- based on everything i've seen, are you saying you got them from ACS?
