Hi Scott Read your comments re position lites and strobes on ACRE.
I have built strobes for my Baby Lakes biplane ...but unable to tame the
"rf trash", would certainly be interested in your source.. Have found
some
LEDs in Mouser but choice is rather limited...

Charles,

For high-output LEDs (position lights), check out:
http://www.lumileds.com/luxeon/products/star_index.html
http://www.ledsupply.com/led-catalog-luxeon-leds.html

For inexpensive strobes and drivers:
http://www.airplanegear.com/skybright.htm
- these guys have strobe bulbs for about $30, and multi-bulb power supplies
for about $160.  You still need shielded cable.

For LED Strobes, you can look at the larger Luxeons (although more
expensive) and similar setups at:
