My Cessna came with the Aeroflash strobes. There is a power supply
for each strobe in each wing tip. They have worked well for 20+ years
after I fixed a EMC problem in each power supply so that they did not
break the radio squelch ever time the strobe flashed. My memory is
not so good after 20 years but I think the fix was adding two or three
small caps to each power supply.
They are lower cost than brand W.

I'm putting wingtip strobes on the 182 and I'd like recommendations from the
group as to what you put on and why. I'd like individual power supplies for
each strobe mounted out in the wingtip (last wing rib) so that I don't have to
run a separate wire for nav lights and strobes, nor run a high voltage wire down
the wing to act as a 15 foot noise generating antenna.
Comments appreciated.
