I know this subject has been covered in the rec.aviation.* ngs in the last
couple of years, but my dejasearch turned up dry.

I'm putting wingtip strobes on the 182 and I'd like recommendations from the
group as to what you put on and why. I'd like individual power supplies for
each strobe mounted out in the wingtip (last wing rib) so that I don't have to
run a separate wire for nav lights and strobes, nor run a high voltage wire down
the wing to act as a 15 foot noise generating antenna.

Whelen gets my vote. They're even STC'd for your Cessna.

I replaced the flashing beacon on my '73 182 with a Whelen A470WR lens
assy and HR,CF power supply. I had half a million questions for Whelen,
the guy in charge of aviation products took the time to answer them and
provided clear, concise answers.

If you go with two separate power supplies, you can even wire them so
they fire in unison.
