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.

Our EAAs DAR was impressed by the lights and said he
would have no problem signing off on them.  If you
use the correct LEDs, you'll meet the FAAs
luminosity specifications without any problem.  In
my research, only the Luxeons had the
cost-size-brightness ratios needed.  BTW, Luxeon
does not market these for aviation use (nor do I).
This is a DIY project, but quite easy.  Since this
is off-topic, if anyone wants to see the article,
pls. feel free to e-mail me directly.
