AveoFlash:

At the time of confirming last execution details while ordering our Aveko VL-3 at the distributor, we decided to order a combination of nav lights/beacon and strobes to be installed on the wingtips and vertical tail.

The OO-G05 is not equipped with an integral airframe parachute system, one reason more to make sure we are visible.

Classic (Wheelen) strobes are more heavy, important for a microlight where every 100 grams count. There are many manufacturers of LED strobes, but the candela output is so dissapointing that their main function gets limited to demonstrations on exihibions and other aviation events. Ofcourse inside a hangar as they become bearly visible in direct sunlight.

After browsing the internet, we ended up with the Czech based AVEO ENGINEERING. To go for these products is a real no-brainer. Nowadays this company is recognized by the entire aviation world as having by far the best LED technology. It's proven and we would buy them again. Unfortunately they come with a life-time warranty so you don't get a second chance for buying them over again.

We are very satisfied with these strobes and they really meet our expectations. We are only a bit dissappoint by their size as they are pretty bulky but the newer versions have a much lower profile (LP see picture hereunder).

The strobes are synchronized by an extra wire connecting all 3 lights. This allows the indivdual lights to use a common timebase resulting in a perfect synchronization without an external powerbox. (= weightsaving and more energy efficient)

We have a switch for the colored nav lights together with the rudder beacon function (red) and a seperate switch to turn on the strobes (wings + rudder)

New for 2009:

At AVEO Engineering innovation never stops. They have meanwhile signicicantly reduced the height of the AveoFlash strobes from 4,8cm to 2,5cm.

The names got changed and you can identify them by 'LP' (low profile)
