If you use the BuckPuck LEDdriver, all you need is 5v to trigger the external control function. It doesn't have to drive the LEDs themselves.

This is good to know. I am not an electrical engineer and I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn last night so I am needing all the information I can get to keep the smoke in.

Interesting that you post this. I just came back from a trip to Radio Shack and saw the stuff on the shelf for the same price, less shipping, that I bought it online.

what are the relevant FARs?
Hi guys,
I was looking through the FARs and I can't find any details on what are: the required wavelength/color of the position lights, the required brightness of the position lights/strobes/etc...
Can anyone point me to where those types of specs are called out?
thanks

RE:Stand OFF from Al.
Hi
I started the Pete Howell version of the led nav lights today.....
Question? What is the stand off distance between the Aluminium and the Acrylic Mirror? I would assumn the thickness of the star led.
Question? What did you folks use for the spacer in the stand off?

Nylon Spacers
Frank,
I used some nylon washer/spacers from the local HW store. Small nuts will work fine, too.
