I don't know if they will work on the Wig Wag circuit but several guys are using them as landing lights. Takes a little ( easy ) modification but they can be fitted into the old GE landing light incandescent socket. They have more lumens and sold for $49.95 six months ago. They are now $29.95 a copy. Hope somebody can use this info.

These products invariably feature some form of DC/DC constant current converter operating in the very high kilohertz range with attendant risks for harmonic radiation. I crafted a little filter board for the gentleman and noted a marked reduction in radiated noise here on my bench. Returned them for his evaluation but have not heard back. I have a quantity of these filter boards. They're about 1/2 x 1/2 inch and mount a compliment of filter caps and ferrite noise attenuators. If anyone discovers a need for some noise suppression on commercial off the shelf led appliances, these are available. Bob . . .

Bob, Thanks for your reply, I started using crimpers with replaceable dies when I started working with small quantities of many different coax connectors. One thing I found is interesting is Amp/Tyco has a simple procedure to verify the crimpers are working properly something I haven't seen for any of the other manufacturers.
