WHELEN OR36R1W RED LED BEACON 14 VDC 3.75" UPPER

There are two things you can count on any Whelen products: they are good and extremely overpriced. Since our need to replace the old, broken and heavy coffee grinder was immediate, we pulled the trigger on this unit. Its very easy to install and you dont need to wait until its dark to appreciate its brightness. We can spot our both C-150s beacons on the ground all the way across the airport or anywhere in the pattern during broad daylight.

Excellent product. Easy to install and VERY bright

I replaced the rotating beacon on my 1957 182 with this light. It was a real easy install and it is a much brighter light. Well worth the cost.

Extremely bright. Easy installation get rid of expensive cessna parts. Winner!

Perfect fit to replace an original beacon on a 1967 Citabria 7KCAB. Much brighter than the original with a fraction of the amperage draw.

Nice piece installed in 10 min. Works great no more motor or bulbs to worry about. Oh yes very bright !

This LED style flash beacon replaced an old flash tube style that utilized a power supply. The power supply was failing to produce sufficient power to operate the flash tube. The increase in visibility of the aircraft is greatly improved with the LED Orion 360 and the need for a power supply has been eliminated.

Very bright beacon for the small size, easy to install...

I really like this beacon which is extremely bright, and increases my hangar clearance since it is mounted on the top of the vertical stabilizer and is much lower profile than the one it replaced. I was really surprised by how easy the installation was.

Great looking strobe to replace the Grimes that wasn’t rotating anymore. The fit in the rudder cap was pretty good, but left a slight gap around the radius of the fixture. Installing was easy.

This was a replacement fir a mid-80’s Whelen strobe that had finally failed. Installation was simple and straightforward, aside from accessing the fasteners inside the aircraft. The three threaded mounting holes on the light housing did not line up to the original light holes. Two were perfect, but the 3rd was off by 15 degrees. This meant drilling a new hole in the base to line up with the 3rd threaded hole on the light. While not necessarily a problem with this light, the Whelen to Whelen compatibility issue was surprising. Please note that this light does require a base in usable condition, as it slides inside an existing base and a new one is not provided. Once operating, the LEFs are daylight-visible and the entire unit looks great!
