My original question was does each blade have a light in the tip or only one of the three. I asked this because the light trail in the night take off picture was so clear. I don't know because that ain't my job, they were installed over in flight test. It would make sense to have all the blades the same and interchangeable, but we're talking about the military so sense doesn't count, they're libel to have a light in each blade and only power one on each engine, or some dumb shit.
OK, I had to go find out, ya whining maggots. According to the Aviationist...

the CV-22s have two NVG (Night Vision Goggle) compatible dual mode LED “tip lights” on the end of each rotor blade whose brightness can be controlled by the aircrew: one visible from above, the other from the bottom

So yes, each tip, like the helicopters.
