Dean,

Congrats on the new product. Make sure Julie at AOPA and the various mags
get the press release.

My knowledge of LEDs is: pick an LED, add a 1K resistor and a 9V and you're
good to go - back from my hobby electronic days . I had a quick question
about the temperatures. Death Valley gets to 120-130F (I believe). If you
run the LED as an anti-collision system during take/off and landing,
couldn't you get about (or at least close to) the 150F?

Thanks,

Hilton


Hi Hilton,

At 130F (55C) the heatsink on our unit will be at 90C (194F) which
will not damage the components. If the heat sink gets to about 95C,
the unit will self-protect by automatically entering the flash mode
which cuts the power in half, preventing any further temperature
rise...
