AeroLEDs Intro's SunSpot With Narrow Beam Lens

An All LED Replacement For The Standard GE4509

SunSpot Landing/Recognition lights are now available with a narrow beam lens. SunSpot, was designed as a "drop in" replacement for the existing PAR 36 lighting applications. The lighter weight SunSpot eliminates radiant heat and projects more lumens than a 100W halogen light. The SunSpot has built-in circuitry to allow for fully operational recognition "Wig/Wag" flashing lights that are used to increase aircraft visibility and safety during all phases of flight. Additionally, the SunSpot uses 1/3 the power of a 100W GE4509 halogen landing light and constant operation of the lights will not pull excessive power from the electrical system.

Eliminating the maintenance costs and excessive heat generated by halogen bulbs, while benefiting from the increased safety of continuous recognition mode operation in all phases of flight, makes the decision to upgrade to the SunSpot even easier. Additionally, AeroLEDs offers a 10-year manufactures warranty which is twice that of the HID lighting systems available.

The light pattern generated by the narrow beam Sunspot compares favorably with a GE4509, but is slightly wider to provide better visibility of the runway on short final and during flare. The cooler white light generated by LEDs provides better color rendition and illuminates green grass better than the yellow light produced by halogen bulbs.

SunSpot with a narrow beam can be installed as a single unit or in pairs with the wide beam SunSpot in the nose gear, cowling or wingtips and all configurations enable the Wig-Wag feature of the lights, offering an effective anti-collision system that does not shorten the service life of the lights. The chassis mount version drops into existing GE4509 clamp mounts. SunSpot is rated for 50,000 hours of operation, up to 16 times the life of competing technologies. A single SunSpot with a wide or narrow beam retails for $495.95.
