RV Wingtip Light Options with AeroLEDs

[Dean_aeroleds]

I have had several inquiries recently asking about AeroLEDs wingtip light options for the Van's RV models that have the wingtip notch, so I thought I should post a couple of photos showing some installations that have been done.

Here is an RV-7 that incorporates an AeroLEDs 1600 and a Pulsar NS90 in each tip cutout. I was told it was a tight fit for the 1600, but the builder was able to shoe-horn it in there:



If you are interested in seeing how you can mount a Sunray Plus in your wingtip, here is a good thread that covers that (with detailed photos):

Now if you had a place for it and wanted the brightest LED landing light you can get, the Sunspot 64 would be cool...

Here is what one looks like installed in a T-6 Texan leading edge:



Unfortunately, I'm not sure that an 8 inch PAR 64 sized light will fit anywhere in an RV.

do you know of anyone that makes a fiberglass add on to the old style vans tips to mount the lights on the outside?

Well, Van's sells wingtip extensions on their website here:

Is that what you were looking for?
