Guys
Check out these bulbs before making a huge investment. 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.

A List reader purchased some similar products about a year
ago and experienced some interference on VHF comm.
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,
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.
