The Ultra Galactica Series is an advanced 3-in-1 LED navigation, position, and strobe lighting solution designed for certified and general aviation aircraft, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in military, surveillance, and law enforcement operations. Known for its sleek, compact form factor and ultra-low aerodynamic profile, the Ultra Galactica has become a favored choice among OEM aircraft manufacturers and operators across the globe. Its streamlined design makes it the lowest-profile, lowest-drag certified light in the aviation industry, ensuring minimal resistance and optimized fuel efficiency while maintaining full FAA TSO certification.
This all-in-one lighting fixture simplifies installation and wiring by integrating navigation, position, and strobe functionalities into a single unit. Its high output and reliability make it ideal not only for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters but also for high-performance drones where space, weight, and power efficiency are critical factors. The unit measures 100 mm x 46.2 mm x 34.1 mm (3.94 x 1.819 x 1.34 inches) and weighs just 96 grams (3.386 oz), making it both compact and lightweight, with a rugged construction engineered to withstand the rigors of demanding flight environments.
Engineered to operate within a wide input voltage range of 9 to 36 VDC, the Ultra Galactica Series features precise power regulation across both navigation and strobe modes. For the green nav/rear white position configuration (P/N: AVE-WPSTG-54G Mod(4)), the unit draws 5.0W at 9V, 5.1W at 14V, 5.4W at 28V, and 5.5W at 36V. In strobe mode, it draws significantly higher power due to its intense output, ranging from 57.0W at 9V down to 38.2W at 36V, with a flash repetition rate of 50 cycles per minute. Similarly, the red nav/rear white position model (P/N: AVE-WPSTR-54G Mod(4)) draws 4.9W to 5.6W in position mode depending on input voltage, and 58.4W to 38.5W in strobe mode across the same voltage range.
Durability is a key strength of the Ultra Galactica Series. The light is fully waterproof, dust-proof, shock-proof, and vibration-resistant, ensuring performance reliability even under the most extreme environmental conditions. It operates across a broad temperature range from -55°C to +85°C (-55°F to +185°F), and includes integrated protections for overheating, reverse polarity, transient voltage spikes (up to 80V for 2 seconds in both polarities), under-voltage (lockout below 9V), and over-voltage (lockout above 36V). These built-in safeguards make it suitable for high-reliability applications in mission-critical aviation platforms.
Installation is straightforward, with recommended mounting hardware and torque specifications provided (M5x45mm screws with a torque setting of 1.2 Nm). For precise guidance, users are referred to detailed diagrams in the technical drawing section. In summary, the Ultra Galactica Series offers a robust, compact, and efficient lighting system that meets the demanding requirements of modern aviation, UAV platforms, and tactical operations, all while delivering the safety and performance assurance of TSO certification.
