The Aviolights Follow Me is a high-performance LED landing light designed for LSA, microlights, and experimental aircraft. Unlike the wingtip "Navigator" series which focuses on navigation and strobes, the Follow Me is a dedicated forward-facing white light designed to illuminate the runway and surrounding terrain during takeoff and landing.
Product Description
The Follow Me is a compact, high-intensity unit housed in an anodized aluminium casing. It is engineered to provide a powerful beam that covers the entire required spectrum for night operations while remaining extremely energy efficient.
Integrated Design: Like other Aviolights, the voltage converter is built directly into the lamp, allowing it to run on any system from 12V to 28V without external boxes.
Optics: It uses a high-grade Pixelglass lens system (6mm thick) combined with high-brightness CREE LEDs to produce a light output significantly higher than standard requirements.
Protection: The electronics are encapsulated in a Monolith of UV-resistant epoxy resin, making the unit completely waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof.
Warranty: Comes with a standard 2-year manufacturer warranty.
Installation: It is often sold with a universal mounting bracket that allows for easy aiming and attachment to a leading edge or landing gear leg.
Comparison: Why the "Follow Me"?
Compared to older halogen landing lights, the Follow Me offers:
Lower Power Draw: At 38W, it uses a fraction of the power of a traditional 100W bulb while producing more usable light.
Lifetime: Rated for thousands of hours, effectively eliminating the need for frequent bulb replacements.
Radio Quiet: It is designed to be radio interference-free, which is critical for microlights with sensitive VHF radios.
