If you fly your Grumman AA Series aircraft at night, you know that the original instrument panel lighting leaves a lot to be desired. The Fresh Aero 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.
The EasyBrow light is easy to install and lights up your Grumman panel like it's never been lit before. 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 Lights can be purchased with a protective clear silicone seeve with 3M foam tape on the back 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 sleeve option to protect the LEDs. Cleaning will be a breeze too. The sleeve thickens the light bar slightly, but not enough to pose any visibility issues. If you've trained your passengers not to grab the eyebrow when entering and existing your aircraft, than you probably don't need the sleeve.
If you have any questions, just call or email me. Bob
On a related note, we have another option that will be available soon -- a pulse width modulation dimmer circuit. This PWM circuit can be ordered with the EasyBrow Lights for an additional 20 dollars and will control the EasyBrow Lights independently of the aircraft panel rheostat. This little dimmer can be mounted in the eye brow and has provides smooth linear dimming throughout its entire range. Look for more info soon or just call me. Bob
