Strobe Recommendations???

I have a '65 skyhawk and installed the Aeroflash units.
1. Cheaper than Whelan
2. Separate power supplies that were mounted on homemade Z brackets on
the last rib.
3. Fit over existing position lights.
4. Replaced Cessna single pull switch for beacon to a double pull (like
the landing light). First pull is beacon, second pull adds wing tip
strobes.
5. Cheaper than whelan.
6. Didn't care about the comet flash feature of Whelan. Aeroflash each
flash independently of each other. So my aircraft has 3 independent
flash sources.
7. Did I say they were cheaper than Whelan?

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.

Thats what was just installed on the '77 C152. Make sure you order the
correct voltage for the plane. 1.8 amp required for each.

One was put on the belly as well:

1.5 amp required.

Strobe wiring was already in-place on the 152, this allowed for seperate
circuits for NAV & Strobe and the panel already had placards for it.
STOL tips were installed at the same time, they allowed enough room for
the power supplies to be mounted on the outside of the rib. The original
tips didn't allow for that...

They work very well and really improve aircraft visibility and as stated
previously, the price made for an easy decision. Orded them at the
beginning of the week and had them that same week...
