Your running wires can be “pushed” through the wing with semi-rigid plastic tubing long enough
to reach the fuselage or light, depending on where you start. Fish the wires through the tube and
use duct tape to secure the wires to the outside of one end. Fish the tube and wires though the
wing lightening holes until they reach the fuselage or light. With tubing in place, pull the wires
though the tubing until you have the length you need to make your connections to the control box.
Remove the wires from the tube and pull the tube back out.

Note:

Consider leaving the tube in the wing to provide wire abrasion protection.

Another note:

We’re prototyping a conical “starter plug” to insert in a length of ½ inch PVC water

tubing to facilitate pushing the tube through the wing. Please contact us for more information.

A Few Words on FAA Approval (USA Installations)

We consider the Fresh Aero Taxi/Landing Light to be an innovative and safe wing leading edge
light for home built (experimental) aircraft.

This same lighting potential exists for certified aircraft but even minor modifications will probably
need some type of FAA approval to be legally used in certified aircraft.

If you install the TLR Light in your certified aircraft, you will need at least an FAA field approval
(337 form) to be completely legal and  airworthy. Please talk to your local FAA Flight Standards
Office for more information.

Thanks again for purchasing the Fresh Aero FlightLights TLR Light. We have tried to make this
light  and  manual  as  user  friendly  as  possible.  We  always  welcome  your  comments  and
suggestions for future revisions.
