Awesome light. Had to run new wires from the main bus to the tail but it was well worth it for this light. Really bright and no radio interference.

These units are excellent, along with their wingtip companions are worthy of replacing the older high power strobes and all the heavy wiring and power supplies. Excellent safety feature on our training fleet with very low current draws. Highly recommend.

I purchased the Whelen tail light a few years ago and for some reason the NAV light quit working. I contacted Whelen Aerospace and they replaced it without question. I will never shop anywhere else for my aircraft lights.
Minor fitment issues on the rudder of my RV7. Had to make a spacer out of 1/8 aluminum, because of the taper of the mount.

Per Whelen, the Orion 500 Series Lights are designed to be mounted on the tail area, vertical stabilizer / rudder etc facing aft. However, the mounting screw holes are at 12 oclock and 6 oclock, not 3 and 9, so a minor modification will be necessary.
Yes, the Orion 500 series (11-11975) is a LED replacement for the strobe style (11-03717).
We recommend shielded wire, the size will depend on the voltage of your system and the length of the wire.
No, these lights are intended for tail mounting only. For wingtip see the OR 650 series 11-11966.
No, a separate power supply is not necessary to run these LED lights.
No, if does not come with an 8130, but you can request it at the time of order for an additional cost.
It is recommended to run a separate power wire for each function. This allows the pilot to turn off the strobe function when it has the potential to interfere with ground operations and other pilots.
No. Shielded wire is not necessary for the Orion product line. Unshielded is acceptable.
It has a steady burn and flash(strobe.)
It will fit. It has the same footprint as a single bulb tail light.
