First thing you will need is a three volt power converter. Depending on
the
distance between your lights and the power supply you may find you will
have
to use ridiculously large wire. Wire the LEDs in parallel. You may
have to
wire a 300Ohm resistor in series with each LED to keep the brightness
down
and the life up.
What I would consider doing is making a larger Water proof battery boxes
with three or four NiMh batteries wired in parallel (single battery
lamps)
then if there isn't enough sunlight to power the lamps through the night
on
one battery you can clip on the booster pack. You may have to recharge
that
pack one once every other week or so.
Remember to use NiMh batteries as they are more resistant to a
phenomenon
called memory effect. NiCad batteries are cheaper but you probably will
end
up with problems before too long. If your lights now have the NiCad
batteries try swapping them out for the NiMh ones that may fix your
problem.

This is coming very soon but it should be a great fly-in. EAA Chapter
237
is having a fly-in pancake breakfast and lunch at Anoka County Airport
in
Blaine, MN on May 19th and 20th
Chapter 237's Famous Pancake Breakfast with sausage and beverage runs
from
7a.m. to noon and lunch of hamburgers, hot dogs and chili runs until
4p.m.
There are two really great aviation museums on the airport. Golden
Wings
Museum has a collection of beautifully restored vintage airplanes that
includes five trimotors. American Wings Air Museum has a collection of
warbirds from WWII to Dessert Storm. They also have a Wright Flyer
replica,
an original 1911 Steco biplane plus many other exhibits.
There was a Swift, an Ercoupe, a Luscombe T8-F plus a lot of other
vintage
airplanes, warbirds and the usual later model airplanes at last year's
event.
There will be a Hangar Dance Saturday evening with the Sights and Sounds
of
Dave Andrews Big Band. This has been a lot of fun for everyone that
attended in past years.
More can be found at www.eaachapter237.org
Thank you,
Lyle Peterson
President, EAA Chapter 237
