    They look great Josh. Post or send me dimmensions. They look to be the same shape as the AeroLeds I have currently mounted in my clear wing tips on my model 4.

    Thanks guys. It's amazing how much heat an energy efficient LED makes. With out the sink these things get over 100C in seconds.

    The dimensions for the light are 2.30" by 2.60" at the base (It tapers at the face of the lens to 2.50 X2.20) The mounting flanges width across the light is 3.28".

    The lights are still bigger than I wanted but they will fit in the standard Kitfox wingtip but you have to mount from behind. I am going on a ski trip for the next 5 days but when I get home I will mock up how it will look in a Kitfox tip with a 3D printed mock up lens.

    Josh - thought you might want to see your lights installed. Well, one anyhow. Perfectly sized, looks nice and a great addition. Thanks for a great design/product.

    Sorry for the double post but I'm working on the magic to get a picture in the post.

    Thanks for your tolerance.

    Hmmm, looks like it really happened. Miracles can still happen. Now, to get them as large as possible.

    Hey Josh

    Do you still have your home built landing lights available? Have they held up so far? If so i am interested in purchasing a pair.
