Whelen OR36R2Wl Red LED Beacon 28 VDC 3.75 Lower
Awesome beacon! I installed on my Cessna 150G. So bright, I know I will not be missed for sure. almost to bright for night flying though, it flashes inside the cabin. But not to bad.
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...

It is 100 candle power.
The larger size is 3.75" per the technical drawings. We have updated the web page to reflect the correct size.
They are self contained. As for the replacement we would need to know what is currently installed on the aircraft. SA800EA is an STC number that covers several lights.
The Whelen Orion 360 series is FAA TSO approved for certified aircraft.
They all flash at the same time.
If the aircraft is 1967 through 1977 and has factory fin cap, then yes it will work. 1978 is the transition year from 12 to 28 volt, so you will need to verify voltage.
The TSO should make it just a logbook entry/minor alteration.
The flash rate of the 01-0772010-50 will be 45 +/- 4 flashes per minute. In regards to synchronization the LED beacon will flash at its own rate and will go in and out of phase with the remainder of the strobes as there is no means of syncing this product.
Per Whelen: You would need to measure the diameter of the current beacon. It is likely either 3.75 or 2.6".
