But once you go for LED's, bright is the way to go, and ultra-bright is
better and the day they have hyper-bright we'll want those.
Come to think of it, LED's are just like pilots and tower controllers
and instructors and whoever else: the brighter the better!

There was a link floating around for a new combination position light and
anti collision flasher using only LEDs.

It was just approved as a STC for use on planes in the C-141 size, and had
400 candela. That's some bright sum-a-beach LEDs, ya think?

Here's a link:

Of course, these are probably a "bit" more expensive than would probably be
used on a homebuilt, but it does show what is possible for LEDs, today.
