Modular LED based aircraft rear position light

A rear position light assembly comprising a plurality of rear position light modules for an aircraft, each rear position light module having a first plane, each rear position light module comprising:

• a single printed circuit board (PCB);
• at least one light emitting diode attached to a first surface of the PCB;
• and
• a single reflector and baffle device attached to the PCB, the single reflector and baffle device configured to provide only a single illumination pattern having a predefined angular pattern in the first plane,
• wherein the single illumination pattern has approximately a 70 degree span in the first plane and approximately a 180 degree span in a second plane, the second plane being perpendicular to the first plane and being parallel to a lift axis of the aircraft,
• wherein the single reflector and baffle device provides the single illumination pattern without a lens portion and any paint or ceramic material located on the lens portion of the single reflector and baffle device.
