Q&A

Gallagher Aviation is proud to launch its new Beechcraft LED Wingtip kit for Bonanzas and Barons with the late style wrap-around wingtip lens. This STC (SA04537CH) is for Bonanza and Baron aircraft. Our kit provides several options to meet your needs so you are not forced into buying a product you do not require. The wingtips can be equipped with the WAT Orion 650E wing LED navigation light (red or green) with white LED strobe light, the 72170 (2.5x brighter than the 71125 recognition lights) forward facing LED recognition/landing light (it has a ground adjustable articulating option), and the Orion 500 tail LED navigation light (white) and white LED strobe light. The kit comes with an STC, is painted white, and the lights are warranted for 5 years. This is the 28V kit. The kit comes with or without up to 5 LED lamps to totally outfit the aircraft with LED navigation, strobe, and additional landing or recognition lighting. Don't forget to pickup wire (we stock wire - Pulselights and Other Components) or pulse light switches (MaxPulse - Pulselights and Other Components) for better day and night time VFR recognition.

Other Accessories

The kit does not come with wire that may be needed for installation because generally speaking, most retrofit installations can repurpose existing wiring. Additionally, the kit does not include switch(es) if desired by the installer. Gallagher Aviation does carry several different wire and switches to accommodate unique installation applications.

For supplemental landing light/recognition light installations, we highly recommend installing a pulse light switch to help maximize day and night time VFR recognition. Gallagher Aviation is an authorized MaxPulse dealer and carries the switch with a spade or ring terminal connector. Select the MaxPulse 9200-000-A Spade Terminal Switch or MaxPulse 9200-000-B Ring Terminal Switch here.
For supplemental landing light/recognition light installations, we also offer simple on/off circuit breaker switches. Select the 20 amp switch W31-X2M1G-20 20 Amp Circuit Breaker Switch or 25 amp switch W31-X2M1G-25 25 Amp Circuit Breaker Switch here.
For wiring, Whelen Aerospace Technologies recommends an 18 gauge 2 or 4 conduit wire. Gallagher Aviation sells this shielded wire by the foot. Select the 18 gauge 2 conduit wire 18 Gauge 2 Conduit Wire or 18 gauge 4 conduit wire 18 Gauge 4 Conduit Wire here.

Q. What is the difference between the 72170 and the 71125 LED recognition lights?

A. The 71125 LED recognition light is a legacy Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) product that emits around 30,000 Candle Power. The new 72170 series LED recognition light emits 2.5 times more light, so around 75,000 Candle Power, which is more powerful than the second generation WAT Parmetheus Plus LED landing light. The 72170 is exactly the same as the 71125 in size, shape, but is slightly heavier than the 71125, but our bracket kit has been approved to carry the 72170 light. We highly recommend the 72170 light option over the 71125.

Q. How do I control the 72170 LED recognition light?

A. We leave that to the owner/operator to decide. Many decide to wire the 72170 LED recognition lights to an existing landing or taxi light switch, while some owners want a new independent switch for the 72170. The 72170 are pulse light compatible so many owners install a pulse light device such as the MaxPulse (we recommend the ring terminal model), which allows for better day and night time VFR recognition.

Q. How do I wire the 72170 LED recognition light?

A. We do not include wire with the kit because many owner/operators wire the 72170 in different ways. We recommend an 18 gauge 2 conduit wire be run from the 72170 wires to the panel, which is not a challenging task in a Baron or a Bonanza. We carry that wire and recommend buying the wingspan of the aircraft plus fourteen feet to account for all the twists, turns, etc. that is needed to get from the wingtip to your panel switch.

Q. How long does the kit take to install?

A. It depends. If you install the 5 light kit with a new switch, installation can vary depending on your maintenance professional's experience with our kit between 7 and 10 hours.

Q. Does new wire need to be run for the Orion 650E (wingtip LED nav/strobe light) and the Orion 500 (tail LED nav/strobe light)?

A. No. Generally speaking you can reutilizing the existing wiring found in the aircraft. The strobe power supply needs to be permanently removed and the strobe wire needs to be reconnected to ensure strobe power continuity reaches the Orion LED strobe power wire. Depending on the Orion model, the LED strobe power wire requires 28 Voltage, Direct Current (VDC) or 14 VDC. A strobe power supply takes power, charges it to a high voltage, and fire a xenon flash tube. Leaving the strobe power supply in the circuit will destroy the LED strobe light.
