Scott,

Thanks for the great information. I really like the new luxeon LED's.
I did a internet search and found that Honeywell has a LED position
light for business jets ......

Looks like they using one Luxeon Star with lambertian distribution and
two Luxeon emitters with side emitter domes. They report a total of 9
watts so I wonder if they are using 3 three watt Luxeon III's?

Thanks again for the useful inforation.

You are welcome, and correct the Luxeon IIIs. I wonder how much
Honeywell is charging to put 3 LEDs in their fixture? The Luxeons are
worth about $45 retail.

I wonder what they are doing for the Red LED's? Lumiled doesn't seem to
have the Luxeon III emitter in Red or Red/Orange colors, although the 1W
parts are pretty bright. The Honeywell datasheet doesn't show a difference
in current requirements between the RED and Green lights. I wonder what
they are doing.

Must be using 1 watt Luxeons. These are pretty bright at about 44 lumens. I
used 2 ($20 worth) in my left wingtip, and they are so bright you can't look
at them.
