If you are interested in superbright LED for this or Nav lights/strobes
might i suggest "light of victory" on ebay they have a good range
of different angle superbright LED. I have made my strobes from a 3x3
array of leds and it measures at over 1000cd per pulse across a 180 degree
spread
and about 1500cd in the horizontal plain

just a though, sure, shows are expensive but it is cheaper for you that
all your customers visit you at a show than you go and visit them ;-)
I'm impressed with your description of the "poor man's HUD" btw
