This is not rotary related, but I decided to use LED lights for my
position lights. These are LUXEON  lights, and I should be able to do
all my position lights for $105 if this works out. Contrast
that with the price for regular aircraft position lights.  I'll let
you know how it works out.

I have done some considerable experimentation with LED position lights.
  Luxeon are indeed the best.   I prepared an article for our local EAA
on this.  If anyone is interested, I can forward it to them.

Hey All, please be advised. We had an RV on the field that was denied
Airworthiness because of LEDs. It is not universally excepted by all DAR's.
I like the look and the power consumption but DAR used a luminosity testor
and it did not meet lighting requirements. Im just the messenger. Buyer
beware of sales pitches.
