You asked for the best
After searching the forum I still need some clarity on the latest RV-14 lighting options.
Looking for best solution not the cheapest.
Do the RV-14 QB wings come with pre-cut leading edge landing light cutouts? Does this preclude using an all in one light in the wings tips like for example the works light kit from Flyleds?
I opened to any suggestions or ideas on the latest setup on lighting.
Hi Glenn,
Regarding the latest options available for the RV-14 you are absolutely right, there are some newer and brighter lights available. AeroLEDs is proud to be the LED light manufacturer of choice for Vans and our results speak for themselves. For your wingtip cutouts the SunSpot36 LX light is our standard PAR36 light; however, this year we released the SunSpot36-4313 landing and 4314 taxi lights. These are 14 volt, 95 watt lights, which replace the 250 watt GE bulbs. All our lights come fully assembled, for easy, drop-in installation. These lights are all made completely at our facility in Boise, ID.
As you may have seen we also have designed the all in one landing/taxi/recognition light, the AeroSun VX, specifically for the Vans wingtip. All of these can be purchased through Vans. Here are the stats:
SunSpot36 LX: 4,950 lumens, 65,000 candela, 20x20 beam profile
SunSpot36-4313 Landing: 11,000 lumens, 150,000 candela, 20x20 beam profile
AeroSunVX:13,000 lumens, 120,000 candela, 20x20 beam profile
As for your wingtip and tail navigation and strobe lights, we design the brightest available for those as well.
