## Discrepancy

THIS ANTI-COLLISION LIGHT AND POWER SUPPLY ASSY HAS PROVEN TO BE OF LOW QUALITY AS MOST FAIL WITHIN THEIR FIRST 1000 HOURS OF SERVICE AND ARE NOT REPAIRABLE IAW MFG.  AS THIS UNIT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE WE RECOMMEND THAT THE WHEN LED FLASHING ANTI COLLISION LAMP ASSY BE INSTALLED IN ITS PLACE UNDER A FIELD APPROVAL.  THIS LIGHT IS VERY BRIGHT WITH A LONG DURATION FLASH IS LESS THAN .333 THE PRICE AND IS REPAIRABLE BY THE MFG. (K)
