1 watt and 5 watt LED for Nav lights?

I'm not sure anybody really "knows". We've seen some subjective comments like
"boy they are really bright" and "gee, they sure are green", but I do not
believe anybody has quantitative data as to whether the actual FAR optical
specification has been met.

OTOH, I've seen some comments in here about the FAR specification being so
loosey-goosey that two birthday candles inside a wine bottle strapped to the
wingtip would be OK.

As you say, I'd like to see some hard photometric data taken with calibrated
equipment and a checklist of HOW this particular installation meets the FAR.
