On my RV9A I have about 6 hours on the plane and lights. I had a unusual shut down in that when I was turning off the strobes ( pos,strobe,NAV 3in one light) I noticed that the strobe light stayed dimly lite and flashed slower than usual even with the power off at switch. This lasted about 30 seconds. I have checked my wires and connection points. (Molex connector). Now I have not been able to duplicate failure. There are four wires to each lamp. A neg.,power to NAV, power to strobe, and blue wire to synchronize the strobes. ( all three lamps ). Has anyone experienced this? The running temps on the red light run about 140 degrees F. The right tip light runs about 160 degrees F after about one hour of runtime in the hangar at 57 degree hangar temp. Sorta baffled on this one. OPEN to any of your thoughts.
