Angier,

At OSH yesterday I looked at the LED landing lights from Aero LEDs ( 
http://aeroleds.com ). I was very impressed and bought two for the IV. They 
are compact, bright, light, run cool, use very little power and last almost 
for ever. Nate Calvin owns the company. He was one of the founders of Sierra 
Flight Systems (now Chelton) and struck me as a very smart guy. He also 
offers an LED nav light/ LED strobe combo for the wingtips and a LED tail 
light /LED strobe for the rudder. Both of these fit the standard Whelen 
mounting patterns. I bought the tail light combo also.
