LED / Nav lights

We run LED lights on the Pipistrel Motorgliders,
http://www.pipistrel-usa.com they seem to work really well and are
lower power consumption which is important for gliding. They are made by
BW Avio in Italy www.bwavio.com and have a 4 year gaurantee.

That is the best eaa site I have visited.

Guessed which was the LED story and read it all.

Good job.

Last week, I attended the farcical FAA-sponsored maintenance seminar and the GE
lighting people were there for the first time.

I had a good discussion with them as to why the Q4509 bulbs burn up when used
continuously as so many do these days (not designed for continuous, and never
tested that way and a surprise that people use them as get out of my way
lights) and they were queried about LED's and the "blue lights" which are such
a pain when on cars.

LED lights are being "looked at".

The blue lights (high intensity discharge) are being evaluated but they have
found too few willing to pay the high prices for it to be a product for
them...yet.

Thanks for the site info and the lead to the article.
