all i know is when the red beacon on the top/belly of the plane is flashing, i'm not allowed to go near it so i don't get sucked in. lol

I got to ask but why would you want those lights on your truck?

and a vital piece to making it work is the paper plate with the ketchup smear on it. without that, the whole thing will never work. glad you had one laying around.... but i'm with stylin... why?

i'm just saying, there's 12v strobes out there all day. i think "aircraft mechanic" is probably the one job description we don't have on the site as a member lol... i'm just saying if that's your thing, there's easier ways...hell look at the tuner douchebags, they've got strobes and fog machines and sharks with laserbeams on their heads and all kindsa foo foo shit. i'm just sayin there's easier ways, if, that's what you want.

I think ronnie does composite repairs on planes and etc
Anyhoo, the real question is what voltage do they require. Cars are only 12v. I'd bet a plane is higher voltage like 24 or 36 minimum. Once we figure out if it can work, then we can figure how to wire it.

well to run it you need this power supply...
https://www.honeywellaes.com/servlet/com.merx.npoint.servlets.DocumentServlet?docid=D73 Y2HX0VSQQQN8N6SLGHDY8FCM54WOI6
which runs off 115VAC, 400 Hz and uses 5 Amps of current. your going to need one heck of a converter or lug around a generator.
