Re; using LED lamps in t
Surfing the web, I came upon yet another forum of interest. I have learned more from these than almost anything!
First, I disclose that I am a the guy who makes the FirstStar led lights, been making them almost a decade, longer than anybody.
I would like to comment about led navigation lights.
There is a lot more to an efficient, reliable, and correct led nav light than most realize.
Yes, you can DIY (that is how I started) but there are a few things you need to know to acheive success.
In a nutshell, led's are not light bulbs and cannot be treated as if they were.
For a more detailed explanation of some hows and whys of leds, go to http://www.firststarled.com/technical_full.html
I am about to add another page dealing with anchor lights only, if anyone wants a copy email me and I will send it.
I would be happy to supply info for those on the list who would like to make their own led lights, just 'drop me a
line'.
