Oscar, I think it's just so you can manage them. Strobes in fog is very much a no-no. I don't think common ground is an issue.

The statement was that nav lights have to be wired independently from anti-collision lights. Purpose being that if something smokes, you don't go completely dark to the outside world. What I'm wondering is how far the separation of wiring should be. For example, it is easy to run a common ground out the wing or to the tail for both systems, but it would seem that that approach would not comply and that separate grounds (DC negative) wires should be run for each system, back to the main ground bus. The discussion here (and other lists concerned with experimentals) is that our systems and lighting need not comply with TSO's for equipment nor approved materials for installation. I do think we all agree that best practices should be followed, therefore my question. Comments-?
