I sell these through Wicks:

They are meant as replacements for the standard bulbs in Wheelen and
several other brands of nav light.  They are night legal as nav lights,
but since the wing tip lights flash in green or red, not white, they are
not legal as strobes for night.  I am working on some LED replacements
for the strobe tubes in Wheelan nav lights and I am working on a version
of these with white strobes and a complete wingtip nav/strobe combo
unit.  Probably will be four or five months at least before I have them
available because I need to complete the electronics design, get three
phase power my hanger for my injection molding machine to make the
lenses, and then make the molds.

While I am plugging my own stuff also get some of these
http://aircraftproducts.wicksaircraft.com/item/all-categories/ories-pilot-supplies-usb-panel-mount-charging-jack/usbchg?&plpver=10&origin=keyword&filter=&by=prod
to keep your tablets and phones charged while you fly.  Put one on the
panel for your flying electronics and one back in the baggage
compartment to charge your phone while you are at a fly-in.  They draw
only a few milliamps so you can keep them powered up all the time direct
wired bypassing the power sucking master solenoid.  These are 2.1A
total, but I have some 4.2A units coming in about 3 weeks.

My plan for the day was to fly down to Pat Shows' place in Mississippi 
to see his KR collection for sale, but I ran out of time and decided to 
just fly around the patch, literally. I did a big loop around 
Huntsville, landing at 10 airports in less than three hours, climbing as

high as 6500' between airports, and burning 9.8 gallons of fuel in the 
process.

My main goal was to become more familiar with the iFly 720 and iEFIS as 
navigation aids, improve my approaches to strange airports, and to 
practice some crosswind landings. It was windy and gusty, mostly 
crosswinds, and I gained a little more confidence during the 
flight....didn't manage to roll it up in a ball! See enclosed flight
path.

I was pushing my luck with sundown on the way back, and started 
wondering if anybody's surveyed the LED nav-light and strobe scene 
lately. I think it's time for N891JF to sprout some nav lights and 
strobes. I have a new Whelan Comet Flash that I'll likely use for 
strobes, but I'm sure LED nav-lights have come a long way since I bought

the three for N56ML over 10 years ago.
