I have nothing to do with them, we are just slowly converting our fleet to run their landing light. They make them with and without Pulse or Wig wag function, and some lights are certified, some are experimental.

Was quoted this afternoon $6400 for the unit that makes the landing lights flash.
When I asked about adding extra lights on the landing gear the guy told me it would be cheaper to source them from somewhere else.

You don't get the discount on one helicopter!

Sucks to be the odd man out on the discount. With pulselites a customer requirement in the GOM I would image precision is capitalizing on that closed market.

But you have an alternative if your aircraft is N reg. You can purchase the same 250W unit ($383) I installed in a fixed wing and obtain your own Field Approval (Form 337) and install it in your helicopter.

Each pulselite kit comes with an STC and install documentation which can be used as approval basis data for Block 3 on the 337. The unit I installed from aircraft spruce had documentation showing install on a Robbie so that helps the cause.

A quick check online found 500W and 1000W kits for sale at $1100/$2000 respectively (links below). Same 337 install method above would apply.

Good luck.

I really appreciate the info wrench1. We're on the N reg, so I'll pass this onto our maintenance guru and see what he comes up with.

Thanks again.

two Aeroleds PAR 36 landing lights with pulse function would do the same job, and you get a better light, brighter white which can be seen better during the day. They are a PMA part so you just need to get the switch to run the wig wag installed and you are good to go.
