It is rated 10 - 30V so it has at least some kind of switching constant
current circuit built-in. That may cause interference, but it is encased
in a metal housing and some suppression stuff (ferrite beads, LC
filters) go a long way in minimizing this. Keep the power cables away
from your COM antenna though.

Looks to me like those are not available right now. There is a very large range on the quality of reflectors, emitters and drivers out there. Just like most things in Aviation, your best bet is to go with something that is known for its quality. Stick with something that uses Cree Emitters. Cree LEDs are the best and brightest in the business and will last a long time.
The driver is what will make the noise. Not the emitter itself.
There are some write ups on the VAF forums that discuss the Baja Designs LEDs. He put them in the wingtip of his RV and took good pictures of the project. Take a look at them. They use the Cree XLM emitters and are very bright and drivers create no noise.

Some guys are also using the "trustfire" flashlights. They also use the Cree LEDs but the flashlight driver makes them very loud and noisy. There are some trustfire write ups on VAF forums as well.
Hope this helps!

Does anyone have any experience with the 10 amp B&C alternator on the M-14 engine?
Are they holding up well in service? How difficult is the installation on a Yak 55?
Thank you!
