Has anyone seen a LED replacement globe that would fit in the Standard Zenith Landing /taxi Lights holder? They must use way less power.. My Jab,s Alt puts out 20 Amps total and that would be almost total output in just those 2 items. Chris.

The access hole allows you to clamp the angles in place then drill. Not very hard at all.

Mike McKinsey found an LED light of about 4 inch diameter, (don't know how many LEDs, but a BUNCH) at a truck stop. Truckers use them for a worklight at the fifth wheel. I have no idea what the cost or current draw is, but he has two installed, and they seem to throw a good beam of light. I'm gonna have to start checking the truck stops.

LED circuits tend to be really simple. I've searched online and the usual suspect web sites and haven't found anything. I'm wondering if we have any EE's in the group that might be able to design something. Those $700 LED strobes look to me like something you could build for $50 in parts and a few hours of time. Of course if I really knew anything about it, I'd design it myself :-(. Ron On Jan 11, 2010, at 3:30 PM, Geoff Heap wrote: > > > Know what you mean Chris.

But I've seen his installation, and he has them side by side in a single window in the left wing, and said he used the mounting piece provided in the kit. It looks very professional. If he knows from digital pitchers and all like that there, I'll ask him to do it.
