Too bad.

Not position lights... come by and see us and you'll see what it is.


And all of us who don't go to OSH will never know? That's a weird
marketing scheme you're starting out with. Is that a product I even
want to be interested in?

Hi Jim,

We are planning on having a press conference at Osh. You go to those
don't you?

When you're 60, a year lasts about 20 minutes.

We are still less expensive that the HID lights, and ours will never
need a bulb change.


Excellent point. Now get them certified ;-)

Dan,

OK, it's probably too late this year...how about next year?


I've been twice - and I can't wait to go again. It's just a lot of
effort coming from Germany.

We are working towards that... hopefully we'll be there in 6 months.

If it is publicized and if I don't have another forum at that time and if
there is sufficient grabber in the press release and if it isn't at 8 am or
5 pm and if we don't have another appointment, then perhaps.

Why all the posing and coyness? Just tell us what you've got and if it is
that cool then we'll make it our business to sort you out at The Show.
Yeah, I know. You're just an engineer. Me too. But I never miss an
opportunity to tell people about "my new baby".

Jim,

I didn't mean to seem coy, I just wasn't trying to make any sort of
announcement here...

Jeez, Dean -- this newsgroup is read by thousands of pilots --
announce away!

The product sounds absolutely AWESOME. When you certify them, I'll be
in line.

Now, if someone could only replace standard incandescent bulbs with
LEDs, I'd buy 'em tomorrow... To never change another g*($#@@ light
bulb at the inn would be worth a lot of money to me!

Jay,

You should really look at the new compact fluorescents. The old ones were
sort of yellowish and had a tendency to pop if you looked at them crosseyed,
but the new ones are really sturdy, white, and I haven't changed one in
three or four years. I've got them in the house, in the shop, in the lab,
and in the hangar. I remember that on one of our first trips to the
hardware store when Gail moved to California we got a raft of them for our
computer benches. I just looked up and out of 7 bulbs that burn almost 8-10
hours a day, three of them were from that first batch --- and that was 1995.

I don't know how Iowa Gas and Electric (or whatever the name is) has the
same sort of promo that Pacific Gas and Electric has, but every now and
again PG&E will kick in with a deal where you can get as many of the bulbs
as you want for about half the normal price. AND in the deal you get about
four to five times the efficiency of an incandescent bulb.

You should really look at the new compact fluorescents.

I replaced all the hallway lights on the first floor of one of our
buildings with compact fluroescent, as an experiment.

Yes, they burn out far less often, and put out far less heat. They're
probably more efficient, too -- but, damn, it makes the hallway look
like something out of "The Matrix". In fact, that's what our staff
calls that hallway now. (I'll show it to you when you're here next
month.)

Until they get rid of that weird flickery greenish/yellowish coloring,
I don't want to switch any more.

LEDs would sure be nice, but none of the light bulb companies
apparently want to put their "bread & butter" at risk.
