Aft White Position & Synchronised Anti-Collision Strobe System
Designed specifically for LSA, Ultralight, Kit, and Experimental aircraft, the Tail Star Series delivers brilliant rear-sector conspicuity in an ultra-lightweight, streamlined package. Available in either vertical (360°) or horizontal (140°) mounting geometries, each unit functions as a continuous position light, a high-intensity strobe, or both simultaneously—with built-in master synchronisation to interconnect with your wider AvioLights installation.
Key Advantages
Integrated Strobe Controller
The synchronized flash driver is built directly into the lamp capsule. Installation is quick and simple, with no remote power modules or high-voltage lines running through the empennage.
Multi Protection
Monolithic encapsulation in solid UV-resistant epoxy resin renders the lamp totally impervious to moisture, pressure washing, vibration, and dust, with integrated reverse polarity protection.
CREE Optical Intensity
A specialised optical reflection system paired with genuine CREE LEDs produces an intense 2,000-lumen strobe burst alongside a clean 450-lumen constant position beam.
