Hello Dave,
Thank you very much. I know Creighton personally and have just seen his Europa.
I think this is the perfect light for my plane. I am into low draw  my 
GRT/analog
panel only draws 2.5 amps, so the extra 1.5 amps for nav/strobe is amazing.

(approx. wing bending neutral axis).  Cables can be pulled through thereafter
and the ends sealed once all the functional checks are complete.

the nav/strobe combination units, so had to be changed.
