the unit will self-protect by automatically entering the flash mode

THAT would be fun on short final to a dark runway!

Dan,
The air temperature inside a wing at night in flight will never get
anywhere close to 140F, so it won't happen on short final at night...
plus, it would take at least 45 minutes to an hour even in a 140F
ambient for the unit to get hot enough to self-protect.

I can fore-see a mini-draft tube as an optional addition. :-)
