    Deux) --> Commander-List message posted by: "Dennis Polito" <28bravo@comcast.net> Stan: I finally got around to installing the led's in the airplane. The plan was to use them for all of the annunciator lamps. (Piper Malibu). There are two bulbs per lamp assy. These are the rectangular type. I set up the landing gear lamps first, boy are they nice and bright! When I flipped the "day/night switch to "night", the lamps were completely extinguished. What I surmise is happening is that the night position cuts the voltage down to a level just below the excitation voltage of the led. I tried one led in the post light holder and found that it would not dim sufficiently before cutting off. I was not expecting this phenomena, I should have thought it through a little more before getting 20 bulbs from you. I see from your earlier post that you will take the bulbs back. Is this still an option?

    (Part Deux) --> Commander-List message posted by: swperk@earthlink.net Hi Dennis, Sorry that they didn't work out for you. I think you're absolutely right as to why they don't work when your dimmer switch is set to night mode. Yes, you may return them to me and I'll send you a refund.
