[TowerTalk] [Fwd: [Antennas] leds for rotor control boxes]

[Joe Giacobello, K2XX]

I believe Gordon reposted the info which I had sent as an attachment.  
Anyway, here is the text of the message:

" switched to Led replacement bulbs quite a while ago.
They don't burn out so fast.
I found that the BA9s-A 28v AC/DC
Amber LED from superbrightleds.com gave a nice light, soft, and MUCH 
less heat than the old traditional type bulbs."

I should also add that the amber bulbs are fine for the rotor 
controller,  The dial is directly illuminated from the top.  However, 
the Titan dial faces are illuminated by light passing through them.  
Since the faces are also amber, a lot of the light is reflected and the 
illumination is poor.  Although I haven't tried them myself, I would 
recommend the clear bulbs or the clear, high intensity bulbs for the Titan.

I'm switching ALL my pilot light devices to led replacements.
