Mr. Thiesen of
Germany has developed these LED (light emitting diode)
Lights that are artfully molded into modern epoxy resins, and colored
for
the application. They open many new possibilities for lighting on
lighter aircraft such as Ultra-Light, experimental, and the new LSA
(Light Sport Aircraft) categories, without placing a huge demand on the
often smaller electrical systems You will be amazed with the amount of
light produced from what we used to squint to see in a cheap LED watch.
This Technology has come a LONG way, but still using a fraction the
power requirements of standard aircraft lighting systems! Power
consumption for the 3 NAV lights, you are looking at a total of 12
watts! Weight of the three lights comes in just over 7 ounces! .
How's your German!
Contained
within the light is controlling software that flashes the lights, and
protects them from heat build up. Heat, though will never be a problem
in aircraft use with the normal airflow, is controlled by reducing the
intensity of the light. Once cooling airflow is received, the light
will return to full intensity. You will be amazed by the workmanship,
and the amount of light coming from these devices. Click on the links

circuit requirements. .
These
lights are produced in Germany by
Thiesen Electronics GMBH. Mr. Thiesen is an aviation enthusiast of many
years. His company, designs and builds many different Software and
hardware devices and applications in a wide realm of fields. His latest
Lighting devices are a LED Landing light, (YES Very Bright, and
provides anti collision alternate flashing as well) and a new beacon
that meets all FAA Brightness requirements for Night flight. They are
in such demand in Europe by aircraft Manufacturers, that they will not
be available to the US Market until March.
I am the only
importer for the North American Region of these very capable light
systems. Though I presently have no show room, feel free to contact me
using my profile page, and I will assist you in any way possible.
This website
provides you with the opportunity
to learn about, and purchase these light directly from the importer for
the North American Region. All purchase are shipped UPS Unless
you request different arrangements. I am not set up to have a
"show room" but if you are in my area I would be glad to demonstrate
them, and sell them to you. TX residents will have to pay sales
tax.
