My PA28-236 (Dakota) is in annual and due to travel and local events, I will not be flying for the next month so I am thinking of upgrading my lights to LEDs.

1. I am looking at Knots 2U wingtips with embedded LED landing lights, probably with the Precise Flight Pulse Kit. The way it is switched, it seems I will have to pulse with alternating nose/wingtips, rather than nose-on and wag the tips.

2. Beacon to replace the giant red coffee-can light: Aveo RedBaron XP Galactica vs Whelen Red/White LED. The Aveo seems like a lower profile. Thoughts?

3. For the wingtips, I am thinking nav/strobe/position with Orion 600/650 (what is the difference?). They seem to generate less RF noise problems than the Aveo Ultra Galactica lights.

4. Tail light.... any thoughts on this one?

Thanks.
