Beta testing is now complete on our new EasyBrow Eye Brow Lights and we're very pleased with the results. These lights are easy to install and light up your Grumman panel like it's never been lit before. I f you fly your Grumman AA Series aircraft at night, you know that the original instrument panel lighting leaves a lot to be desired. The EasyBrow eye brow light is the perfect solution! Just remove the original eye brow incandescent light bulbs and mount the Fresh Aero EasyBrow LED Light to your lower eye brow panel – in less than an hour or two.The EasyBrow Lights consist of a 31 inch, 48 LED light bar only 2mm thick (about 3/32") and they use the same plug-in bayonet connectors we use on our Easy Light overhead lighting unit. And even with 48 LEDs, the EasyBrow uses only about half the power of the three original incandescent bulbs! The EasyBrow Lights install easily on the outside and underside of the lower Grumman eye brow (where the existing red lens eye brow lights are mounted) with the attached 3M tape and plug into two of the existing incandescent eye brow sockets inside the brow. Other Features Include ---
State of the art LED solid state lighting in blue, red & green and they weigh less than 1 ounce (1.5 oz. with the protective covering)
Great redundancy! The special series parallel circuitry means that even if you loose an LED (not very likely), only 3 LEDs in the 48 LED array will fail. You won't even notice.
Illuminates entire instrument panel with bright and clean light. No halos, hot spots or weak spots – just beautiful even light. The EasyBrow accentuates the needles and indices on the gauges and makes reading the instruments a joy!
Very long life cycle. The LEDs on the EasyBrow Light have a life span of at least approximately 80,000 hours!
Many times brighter than the original Grumman panel lighting and about half the power consumption
Unlike the original eye brow panel lights, the EasyBrow lights run extremely cool with no heat build-up.
All components have a UL flame retardant rating of at least HB 94
They are fully controllable using the existing panel rheostat -- from dim to full bright.
Simple installation. Just remove the existing eye brow incandescent bulbs, mount the light strip on the lower eye brow panel with the attached 3M tape and plug in the adaptors into the bulb sockets .
These lights bath your panel in beautiful light and will not diminish night vision.
Vibration proof design. Aircraft vibration will not be a factor. |

The EasyBrow light does not require An faa "337" field approval in most faa districts The EasyBrow Light requires just a logbook entry by an A&P mechanic in most FAA districts in the U.S. The EasyBrow light is considered to be just a bulb replacement to most FAA District offices. Please call us for more information. |

We offer the EasyBrow Light with a protective clear neoprene covering with foam tape that will protect the EasyBrow from contamination if frequently handled. Do you need it? These are my thoughts.
Once mounted, these lights don't see much exposure to contamination as they're nested under the lower eye brow and you don't see them. However, if your passengers frequently grab the eye brow (not a good thing), then you may want to order the protective covering to protect the LEDs. Cleaning will be a breeze too. The downside of the covering is that it thickens the light bar slightly -- about 1/4 inch verses 3/32 inches for the uncovered bar -- so the lights may be visible, depending on your height.
Another thought -- the protect covering option is only 5 dollars and the light bar also has the 3M tape mounted. So, if you decide you don't want the covering, you can remove it with a pair of thin bladed scissors (taking care not to damage the LED bar, of course) You can also send it back to us and we'll remove the cover -- no charge.
If you have any questions, just call or email me. Bob
