It is an EL panel? As I recall the manual said LED. I never took any of 
mine apart.

If you apply a high enough voltage across a luminescent medium it will 
fluoresce. AC actually make it work a lot better.

I was browsing ebay and came across this starter for airboats.  Why  
airboats?  Is it because of liability?  It looks like the price is  pretty good
for a 
new starter.

hi to all
 does anyone out there have any take on what power requirements i might need 
to drive a mini computer from my airplane batteries/alternator.  i am having 
problems running a moving map  program and a engine data display program once 
its connected to the bus with the engine running.....runs fine with battery 
through a inverter/transformer ( dc to ac to dc)or by plugging in 110/120 ac( 
wall outlet)to dc via power adapters.
