Narrative:
I lost my radios 5 to the southwest of bed. Then I noticed that I lost all electrical power. I climbed high to be above the traffic and squawked 7600. Once above the airport, I circled waiting for light gun signals. On the second 360, I saw the gun signal and proceeded to enter the downwind (right) to runway 5. I then proceeded to turn final. I did not see an aircraft on final. The other aircraft broke off to the left and me to the right. Then I proceeded to land.

Title: SMA SEL LOST ALL RADIO COM AND ACFT ELECTRICAL SYS AND OBTAINED TWR LIGHT SIGNALS FOR LNDG.
Narrative: I LOST MY RADIOS 5 TO THE SW OF BED. THEN I NOTICED THAT I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL PWR. I CLBED HIGH TO BE ABOVE THE TFC AND SQUAWKED 7600. ONCE ABOVE THE ARPT, I CIRCLED WAITING FOR LIGHT GUN SIGNALS. ON THE SECOND 360, I SAW THE GUN SIGNAL AND PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE DOWNWIND (R) TO RWY 5. I THEN PROCEEDED TO TURN FINAL. I DID NOT SEE AN ACFT ON FINAL. THE OTHER ACFT BROKE OFF TO THE L AND ME TO THE R. THEN I PROCEEDED TO LAND.
