Maybe my search skills are weak, but most threads I've found talking about leading edge vs wingtip lighting are a decade old and many of the decisions were driven by the lighting types available at the time (halogen mostly). Times have definitely changed, so I'm curious of the pros/cons people see to doing wingtip vs leading edge lighting with LEDs in the mix now.
It'd be great not to have to cut into the wing skin if the wingtip lights are good nowadays, but the geometry makes me assume even the best LED wingtip lights will have a dead spot in front of the aircraft. I'm not sure if that's bothersome or not.
I'm placing orders for the "extras" I need for the wings. I'll take any observations people want to throw at me.
