Not cheap, though. The trouble with LED's is that they don't work the same as light bulbs. They're a current-controlled device, and a bulb is roughly a voltage^2-controlled device. If you have some of each, it'd be tough to get them to dim at the same "rate." As far as getting stuff approved, depends on your friendly neighborhood FSDO, I guess. You just fixed yours... leave well-enough alone! ![]() Wait a minute... didn't you taunt the airplane gods a week or two ago about how *everything* on your plane worked? :P~~ -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * The prime directive of Linux: * * - learn what you don't know, * * - teach what you do. * * (Just my 20 USm$) * ************************************************** *********************** |
