Lights and Legality for night flight in an experimental.

[freerangequark]

I was shopping for lights for my build. I want in 3 in 1 wingtip position/anti-collision LED units.

I was looking at AVEO Powerburst Daylite 3 in 1 lights on ACS and read "For Experimental Use Only. Not approved for installation on certified aircraft. This is not a TSO certified light."



1. Q: Does this Aveo Powerburst Plus light set meet the requirements of FAR 91.205 (c) for night flight?

A: This series of lights is intended for experimental aircraft installations only and has not been tested to far 91.205(c). For a certified aircraft solution please see part number 05-08099 (TSO'd).


Yep, I get that... for experimental aircraft...not for certified aircraft. Certified aircraft lights must be TSO'd.


2. Q: Do these meet the requirements for Night Flight in an Experimental?

A: Per Aveo: the FAR's require Approved lights for night light requirement.

So that means TSO'd?


If I am understanding this correctly, then the purpose of these lights is to increase aircraft visibility during the day, or when lights are not required.

Am I missing something or misunderstanding this?


Thanks,
Glenn
