What are the installation requirements for the SunSpot 36 and 46?
The SunSpot 36LX landing and taxi lights and SunSpot 46LX can be installed with just a log book entry if you can install the light in an existing mount and use the existing wires, switches, and circuit breakers. The SunSpot 36HX landing and taxi lights and SunSpot 46HX can be installed with the pulse function enabled in any model listed on the AML under STC, or in other aircraft models with a 337 that uses the AML STC as a basis for approval.
What are the installation requirements for the TSO lights?
If the lights are mounted to an existing mounting location with no structural modifications and existing wiring can be re-used, the lights can be installed with a log book entry. If there are modifications to the wiring, a 337 should be submitted for approval for the installation. If there are structural modifications made to mount the lights, a more extensive approval may be required, ranging from a 337 to an STC.
What is the recommended wire for the Pulsar and SunTail lights?
We recommend 3 conductor 20 gauge shielded single bundle wire.
