LEDs for Nav Lights - Jim Weir
Jim & the group:
Most of us know how expensive navigation lights are for our aircraft. When building in wingtip lights, many of us don't need the fancy light housings that come with most STC'd light systems. I've followed and enjoyed Jim's previous work on panel LEDs and various topics over the years. I apologize in advance if I missed any previous threads or discussion in my search on the use of LEDs as nav lights. I've noted that several builders seem to be making progress with LED navlights, especially since companies like Luxeon (below) have come out with inexpensive, very high-intensity lights. Even some automotive LEDs advertise they are putting out up to 150-200 cd. Other builders are commercializing their LED products, but their prices are close to the STC'd versions. Jim, is it feasible for an average builder to integrate any of these LED components into nav lights that will have acceptable performance? Perhaps a Kitplane article to help all us electronically-challenged builders? Thanks in advance Scott Gettings Melbourne, FL |
