Dang it, Dean, you had me going for a while, but for two things:

- Non-certified. Can't use it in my plane.
- Price. $850 (for 2) buys a whole bunch of Q4509s.

Good luck with it, but methinks at that price you're not going to sell
too many to the (notoriously thrifty) experimental crowd -- but I hope
I'm wrong.

Get 'em down to $250 apiece, and you won't be able to build 'em fast
enough...

$250 is pretty tough to accomplish. Maybe we will get there once we
have some volume, but its hard to get costs that low initially.

Landing lights don't have very tough certification requirements. With
DO-160E compliance, they can be pretty much installed with a field
approval. We are going to work with the FAA on this. We also will
have a round PAR36 compatible round light very soon (drop in
replacement).

With these lights, you can run your landing lights 100% of the time
day or night in wig-wag mode for recognition/visiblity to help reduce
your mid-air risk... You can't do that with conventional lights
unless you want to keep replacing them all the time.
