hi all,
as i had just recently put wig wags on my plane i didn't pay much attention to all the posts about the led system. i am just now finding out how poor my lights are. is there a site that sums up what was said and offers schematic and parts list to build the led system?

There seem to be many options for the LED landing/taxi lights. I
did not do an exhaustive analysis but based on a quick survey,
at the moment, my plan is to use two of the Teledyne Alphabeam
lights at the wing tips of my Xenos motor glider.

While I may at some point fly at night, my main goal was to get
wig-wag lights for improved recognition. The Teledyne's seemed
to be a little more rugged than most, they have a wide beam that
would allow them to have good visibility from off center, and the
price did not seem out of line compared to similar lights. They also fit
into in a standard landing light mount (e.g, Duckworks). You can
definitely find lots of options that are less expensive but they
appeared to me to be less rugged and have a less powerful beam.
Of course many use less power which could be a consideration
for many applications. I am about a year away from when I need
to purchase them so things could change based on what becomes
available...
