If you’re looking for top-quality LED aircraft lighting at a price that cannot be beaten, look no further. Flyleds “The Works” kit is a DIY solder-together kit that puts everything you need in the wingtips… nav lights, strobe lights, landing lights, and taxi lights.
Ever since we launched The Original Flyleds kit we received a constant stream of emails asking “Do you do landing lights as well?”. We held off for a long time because there were some great products already out there, but with the challenge duly set we spent a year researching and evaluating our options and designing the spotlights to come up with The Works lights. We couldn’t be more proud of the results, and hundreds of kits later, our customers are in agreement!
Our landing lights use quality Cree LEDs producing a total minimum of 7200 lumens of light. Rather than using simple reflectors, we use collimating lenses which gather all of the light from the LED and make a tight beam with very little spill. That means more photons are being thrown where it’s needed… waaay out front and center!
For simplicity, the LEDs are driven with a linear constant current power supply, rather than a switching-type supply. The result: no radio or intercom noise, ever. We haven’t suppressed the noise; there isn’t any being made to start with!
Need taxi lights as well? You can also wire and aim one of the spotlights in each wingtip independently from the others for taxiing. Perfect for taildraggers! The new The Works controller board can also turn on the strobe LEDs continuously so you get an additional flood of light off the ends of your wingtips. This can help you improve your peripheral vision and illuminate the taxiway edges and obstructions.
The controller board also takes care of wig-wagging (flashing) your landing lights. Even if you’re mostly a daytime VFR flyer, by wig-wagging your lights on every flight you will be seen coming for miles by both human and feathered pilots.”

Installed this kit in my RV7A. Getting lots of comments from other pilots on how bright these lights are and how visible my plane is with the wig wag mode in daytime. The kit is superb with precise instructions and quality parts.

If you don’t know how to solder don’t be afraid. The instructions take you through the entire assembly and teach you how to solder electronics at a basic level but you will need a decent (preferably adjustable) soldering iron. Everything is high quality, the instructions are super good with pictures and explanations are given of how the system works. I chose FlyLeds because I’m building an RV 7 and want taxi and landing lights on each side, but you can configure these many ways to suit your application. You get a lot for the money in my opinion.

Awesome is the best word for the Fly LEDS. I’ve installed them in 5 different RVs and they are so bright, less power draw.
Highly recommended
