The SunTail is a high-performance LED lighting solution engineered specifically for the tail section of aircraft, combining both anti-collision strobe and position lighting functionality in a single, compact unit. Developed by AeroLEDs, the SunTail is designed to enhance rearward visibility and aircraft recognition while delivering energy-efficient performance and long-term reliability. This integrated design eliminates the need for multiple lighting components and simplifies the installation process for pilots, mechanics, and aircraft builders.
Built for seamless compatibility, the SunTail integrates smoothly with other AeroLEDs lighting products, including synchronized strobe systems that improve visibility during night flights or low-visibility conditions. Its design enables straightforward retrofit installations, serving as a drop-in replacement for older tail light units. The horizontal mount format makes it ideal for a wide range of aircraft types, particularly those requiring low-profile, rear-position lighting without any structural modifications.
Operating on both 12V and 24V systems, the SunTail provides consistent brightness and efficiency. The LED technology eliminates the need for external power supplies, reducing wiring complexity while minimizing energy consumption. At 14VDC, the average current draw is just 0.5 amps with a peak of 4 amps during strobe operation, while at 28VDC, it averages 0.3 amps with a peak of 2 amps. These low power demands make the SunTail an excellent choice for aircraft looking to reduce electrical load without compromising lighting performance.
The SunTail meets and exceeds FAA TSO-C30c Type III and TSO-C96a Class II requirements, ensuring it is fully certified and compliant with aviation safety standards. With FAA-TSO and STC approval, the SunTail offers peace of mind for aircraft owners seeking a dependable, approved lighting solution.
Compact and lightweight, the SunTail measures just 2.2 inches in length, 1.7 inches in width, and 1.3 inches in depth, with a total weight of only 0.16 pounds. Its aerodynamic profile and robust construction make it suitable for long-term exterior use in a variety of environmental conditions. For aircraft owners and operators seeking a reliable, high-visibility, and certified LED tail light system, the SunTail provides a proven and modern solution that prioritizes safety, compatibility, and simplicity.
