The MicroSun™ LED Taxi and Recognition Light delivers outstanding illumination in a compact, lightweight form, making it an ideal solution for Experimental and Kit aircraft. Engineered for performance and versatility, the MicroSun provides dependable landing and taxi lighting while offering pilots increased visibility and safety in a variety of flight conditions. Its ultra-compact design allows for flexible mounting almost anywhere on the airframe, accommodating diverse installation needs without adding unnecessary weight.
Despite its small size, the MicroSun is packed with powerful features. It emits bright aviation-grade white light that significantly improves forward visibility during taxiing and landing operations. To enhance safety, especially in high-traffic or low-visibility environments, it comes equipped with AeroLEDs' signature built-in Pulse (wig-wag) mode. This flashing pattern increases aircraft recognition during both day and night, helping reduce the risk of midair collisions and bird strikes by making the aircraft more conspicuous to other pilots and wildlife.
Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the MicroSun. With a maximum power draw of just 24 watts, it uses approximately half the current of conventional lighting systems, making it ideal for aircraft with limited electrical capacity. Operating at only 1.7 amps at 14VDC, the MicroSun offers powerful performance without compromising onboard electrical efficiency.
Physically, the MicroSun is engineered for minimal footprint and weight. The main unit weighs only 0.2 lbs., while the external mount version is even lighter at 0.1 lbs. Its dimensions—3.1 inches in length, 1.9 inches in width, and 2 inches in depth (or 0.9 inches depth with external mount)—ensure it fits snugly into tight or unconventional installation locations.
Whether you're outfitting a new build or upgrading an older system, the MicroSun LED provides a rugged, efficient, and high-performance lighting solution tailored specifically to the needs of lightweight aircraft. Its blend of brightness, safety, and flexibility makes it a top choice for pilots who demand professional-grade results in a small package.
