I created a video that compares a legacy Xenon strobe that is a PMA'd unit that many homebuilders use with our AeroLEDs Pulsar NSP all LED position/strobe and a competitor's all LED position/strobe.

The video was shot just after sunset with the strobes located at a distance of 1500 feet from the camera. The legacy strobe is on the bottom of the stack, the Pulsar NSP is in the middle, and the competitor strobe is on top.

One thing that should be pointed out is that the Xenon strobe has a very short flash duration, so the camera only catches flashes that occur when the camera shutter is open. Some of the Xenon flashes are missed by the camera when its shutter happens to be closed.

The competitor's LED strobe claims to exceed the TSO requirements both on the box it came in and on the installation instructions that were enclosed inside the box.

All 3 strobes are powered using a 12.8VDC truck battery.

Here is the video:
