Brief Description: Tail light sockets, and wiring
|
|
Fabricated a mount for two LED high intensity white 'lights' on the botom fairing of the rudder. The 4" piece of 3/4 x 3/4 angle was drilled and the LED sockets screwed together in a sandwich with the angle between.
Haven't decide to make them strobes or taillight only, or both. Have to review the regs, too.
In testing on a bench later, wired the fixed to be strobe, but realized that I want to wire the NAV light and strobes to be wired 'together'. Meaning, the Strobes will be used in daytime, without NAV lights, but the NAV lights will not be used without strobes. So the power to the NAV lights is keyed off the strobes being ON. Without Stobes ON, the NAV lights will not activate. (I think that will be correct, but have to reseach.)
UPDATE: Decided to have two discrete circuits, NAV/Strobes. Each one independent of the other. Need to turn strobes OFF to avoid blinding other pilots on the ramp, and need to use strobes alone for some day-time visibility.
#3 is the test lash-up for testing the components.
