You can get the AeroLEDs through Van's and they are a little less expensive
too for the complete package. The AeroLEDs NS90 include the strobe and the
position light.

David;
I just sent off my power supply this week for evaluation. Trying to do
the same math on the break over point. If my power supply is shot, I do
plan to go to LED's. On the led system from Vans, are the position
lights part of the system? It is not real clear from the website.
