Ztron Labs update?
For a product group with such attractive pricing I would expect to see a lot of praise and/or complaints by now. Is anybody actually flying with the landing lights and nav/strobes that can comment on product quality, noise output and light output.
Thanks
Paul

Ztron
Hey Paul.
Not flying yet with the lights but I did put a YouTube video some time ago of a test.

They seem great so far. Easy to install.

Ztron lights
Thanks for the info Al. I'll call you for a more in depth discussion, also interested in more feedback. These things are less than 1/2 the price of other LED lights. How are they working out.
Thanks
Paul

I recall reading somewhere that the owner/creator of the Ztron product line used to work at Dynon and other than that there is no connection.

His LinkedIn data says he left Dynon in 2011 but this interview was posted Sept 2012. Looks like their still kinda chummy to me.
Not that there is anything wrong with that....Might just add some credibility to Ztron.
That interview also gives some hints on how Dynon may have entered into the RF business.

I have been flying with them for 1.5 years and 400hrs as of today using the nav/strobe units and have been working great. I originally did not like the flash pattern. It was real square wave looking...for a lack of better term....the off duration was the same time as the on duration. Changing the pattern flashes and speed with the availible options still yeilded a weird looking flash to me. They agreed to re-program the rom to a custom flash pattern for a fee. I have no idea if that was incorporated into the next line of units or if mine are the only ones like that. The actual funtion of the units has been great.
