Has anybody got any experience of lights by Avio http://aviolights.com/
I'm looking to fit new lights on a WA81 as part of my rebuild - original Whelen are shot and thes eseem to fit the same footprint

I have the Aveo lights on my Carbon Cub as in this video.

Very bright, easy to install, no radio noise. Not cheap, but they work very well.

Thanks Mark - I think you have lights by AVEO which are N.American - I'm looking at AVIO which are Polish (I think)

Berian,
I'm fitting these to my Europa at the moment. When I submitted my mod paperwork with the technical information from Avio. The LAA pointed out that the flash rate quoted was to high. The design specs the LAA use as a basis for approving strobe lights quotes a maximum of 100 flashes a min. Avio quote 120 a min for their strobe lights. The LAA at first wanted me to find away of slowing the flash rate down. I contacted Avio for a confirmation of the flash rate. They quoted anything from 90 to 120. I then counted mine and counted 104 a min. Which the LAA seem happier with. Just be aware if you go ahead and buy these they might bring this point up.

That's Really helpful - I'm looking at Navigator Ultra on the wing tips and Red Eye and Tail Star to replace defunct Whelen (I think) items.
I'll need to buy in a couple of months - have you now got sign off ?

Any update on the sign-off for these?

No real update. The LAA said that if my inspector was happy with the flash rate then that was ok!! As I'm the inspector, I'm very happy with it.
I did ask for some guidance material from the LAA on lights. But they do not have any. However the BMAA do https://www.bmaa.org/files/til_013_strobes.pdf
