    Yes. The light is just under 2.25" wide and typical FC wing supports are 3.25" inside dimension.

    That's for the rectangular one. The round one is 3.13" diameter.

    Not sure if you are trying to buy it off the forum or not, but he has the link to website in the post. He ships fast.

    Apologies for the back orders but it's been difficult to keep them in stock! I expect to have some more rectangular lights on Monday. The round ones are still a couple weeks out. If you place an order online it will help me keep track of demand and order the right amount.

    Got mine yesterday, thanks Mike!

    (no, not substantially brighter than the LED truck light it replaced, but there we are... maybe it makes someone feel safer...)

    I now have a small quantity of both round and rectangular lights back in stock. Get them while you can!

    I have also made a batch of brackets to mount the rain light to a typical FC rear wing mount: Rain Light Bracket


    It will fit both round and rectangular Cartek lights and should fit the rectangular Lifeline light but I didn't have one to verify.

    The most recent shipment of rectangular lights have come and gone, with another shipment expected in about 2 weeks. Get your order in to reserve one today. https://www.gyrodynamics.net/product/cartek-fia-rain-light/

    Don't forget your mounting bracket: https://www.gyrodynamics.net/product...light-bracket/

    I also have a small quantity of the round lights in stock for immediate shipment!

    Default Darn. . . .wish I’d seen this post sooner

    Darn it. . . .I missed this post and only saw it after I’d already purchased my new rain light from another vendor (for more money). But I just want to let those of you who have never done business with Mike know that he is a total Class A delight to work with. . . .fair pricing, quick shipping and best of all - responsive customer service. The best!

    I will have a handful of round and rectangular Cartek rain lights at the Blackhawk Majors next weekend, in case anyone procrastinated and needs one before their annual tech. Look for the Gyrodynamics trailer.
