We have installed both the MaxDim and MaxPulse in our planes. Both work great
and were easy to install. I must add my two cents here. LoPresti, RMD, Knot2U,
xevision, the leaders in the HID market, and others are pulsing the HIDs.
So yes it can be done it seems. The question may be - how does it effect the
long term life of the HID bulbs? LoPresti puts it like this -
http://speedmods.com/PowerPulse.htm look at the Urban Myths, and you can compare the systems here - http://maxpulsemaxdim.com/comparisons.htm . However, only one system is STC'd and has the warmup delay that seems to be so important. That is the MaxPulse unit. We cannot say if this is important or not. Everyone seems to have a different take on it. But if the HIDs have a 5000 hour life and pulsing them reduces that life by 10% you are going to be in the pilot seat for many, many hours. Your HIDs could very well outlive you. It would seem that being seen is far more important than anything? Safety anyone?

Yes, that little brown spot in the picture is a bear.
