The SunBeacon II is a high-performance, 360-degree LED aircraft beacon designed to deliver exceptional anti-collision visibility while significantly reducing power consumption compared to traditional rotating or flashing beacons. Engineered for both safety and efficiency, this beacon is available with either red or white LEDs and features a standard clear lens. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy aircraft beacon systems, allowing operators to modernize their lighting with minimal effort.
Thanks to its compact, low-profile design, the SunBeacon II minimizes aerodynamic drag, contributing to improved overall aircraft performance. Additionally, its solid-state construction ensures zero maintenance, making it a dependable lighting solution for both general aviation and commercial aircraft applications. Certified to meet or exceed FAA TSO C96a Class I & III (for red LEDs) and Class II (for white LEDs), the SunBeacon II offers reliable compliance with aviation safety standards.
Operating seamlessly on both 12V and 24V electrical systems, the SunBeacon II delivers full 360-degree illumination with powerful strobe functionality for enhanced aircraft recognition and collision avoidance. Its energy-efficient LED technology eliminates the need for an external power supply, simplifying installation and long-term operation. The beacon is also compatible with strobe synchronization systems, enabling coordinated flashing across multiple lights for increased visibility.
Installation is straightforward, with optional mounting configurations including a twist-mount or a 3.75-inch cup mount, available separately to suit different aircraft models and preferences. The SunBeacon II has an average current draw of 1.2 amps at 14VDC and 0.6 amps at 28VDC, with peak currents of 4.4 amps and 2.3 amps respectively. Weighing just 0.22 pounds and measuring 2.5 inches in length and width with a depth of 1.6 inches, it is compact yet powerful.
FAA-TSO and STC approved, the SunBeacon II combines cutting-edge LED technology, rugged construction, and certified performance into a single beacon that enhances aircraft safety while lowering operational costs.
