Dealer of Thiesen company
LED-Lights from the Developer and Manufacturer
Sports pilot and aviation enthusiast Juergen Thiesen is the founder of Thiesen-Electronics. From his aviation experience he was convinced that his expertise as an electronics engineer, coupled with his entrepreneural approach, could be combined to develop a range of products to help make flying safer.
His decision to develop and manufacture his own design of rugged and reliable LED light systems speaks for his dedication to the principle of “SEE AND BE SEEN!”
LED-technology in aircraft lighting combines high luminous intensity with low power consumption, compact design and no maintenance. Thiesen’s top quality epoxy sealing technique ensures additional weather resistance and a long lifespan.
As with all of the Thiesen products, all systems are integrated into the light units, so there is no need for external controllers, power conditioners, or power supplies. This can provide a significant savings of weight, complexity, and COST!
Power-Saver
Besides the already established range of products such as the Electronic Position Lights EPL and EPL-Tail-Light, the Anti-collision-Lights ACL, EPTA-LSA, EPTA-NG, landing lights ELLxx and the Electronic Rotating Beacon ERB, Thiesen leads the way. By the use of the latest generation LEDs, Thiesen is able to achieve a brightness that would have been inconceivable only a few years ago!
Intelligent Synchronization = Intelligent Power Management
The Thiesen “Intelligent Synchronization” system schedules the light pulses so that there is no overlap of the individual lighting flashes. As seen in the diagram below, this pulse scheduling reduces the battery and generator requirements as if only one light is on at any given moment.
EPTA – LSA
Position Light, Anti Collision Light and Tail Light ….three lights in one
An “Intelligent Synchronization” system schedules the light pulses so that there is no overlap of the individual lighting flashes. This pulse scheduling reduces the battery and generator requirements as if only one light was on at any given moment. This new LED technology allows an incredibly vivid, red and green light with only approx. 10% of the input power, when compared with conventional navigation lights.
Each lamp is cast in high-optical plastic making the EPL absolutely insensitive to water, vibrations and other environmental influence.
The efficiency of the output is much higher, compared to conventional systems. The heat production of the EPL is low and is monitored and controlled electronically.
Considerations, during installation, should still be given to the light‘s need for cooling airflow. Any recessed installation must provide some cooling airflow.
The set contains 2 EPTA-LSA for an aircraft (NON-TSO’d). One each for the right and left wing to be mounted at the wing tips. The illumination angle is equivalent to the required angle of 110 deg. as prescribed for general aviation. Please follow the instructions for mounting the EPTAs.
NEW! a mounting conversion adapter which makes it easy to change from conventional Xenon-strobes to Thiesen LED-position lights.

EPLTis – Electronic Position Taillight with “Intelligent Synchronization”
The EPL – Taillight is made of a high-optic, scratch-resistant plastic module. The entire control element is integrated into the ACL module where the ACL’s dimensions determine the required space.
The EPL – Taillight emits an extremely brilliant white light with modulated flashing impulse to ensure better perception. It has a defined angle of light of 140° in compliance with the regulations of general aviation.
The taillight is provided with wiring to allow easy connection to a 2-lead cable of minimum 0.4 mm² cross section. Flanges allow simple fixture. In addition, it can be affixed to the fuselage or rudders by means of a silicone adhesive. An instructions manual and the shrink tubing required for the assembly are included in the Taillight package.
EPL – Electronic Position Light
The EPL is made of a high-optic, scratch resistant plastic module. The entire control element is integrated into the ACL module where the ACL’s dimensions determine the required space.
The EPL has a brilliant green and red light with modulated beacon impulse for better perception. It has a defined angle of light of 110° in compliance with the regulations of general aviation.
The wingtip lights are prewired to allow easy connection to a 2-lead cable of minimum 0.4 mm² cross section. Flanges allow simple fixture. In addition, it can be affixed to the fuselage or rudders by means of a silicone adhesive. An instructions manual and the shrink tubing required for the assembly are included in the EPL package.
Note: To benefit from the “Intelligent Synchronization” you need to have the EPTA-LSA since the green EPTA light is the master module for all connected “iS” lights and shifts the pulses.
We give a warranty for 3 years from date of purchase or foe 5000 hrs – depending on what occurs first.
