Hi Fred,
I have not been able to figure out how to meet the FAA requirements for
output and pattern on the tail light so unfortunately that one will be
incandescent. I am confident I can do it on the wing tip light as I have
plenty of room under the lense cover. For strobes I am using a single light
on the fin, not ideal but it will help with power reduction.
At the moment my power calculations roll up to a little less that 11 amps in
cruise at night but until its actually done and flying I won't know if I am
correct. You welcome to a copy of my electrical load calculation spread
sheet if you'd like.
Cheers
