Even comes with a very bright LED that gets mounted where it is visible so you can see when your ignition has voltage.
Wow ! I guess I am really falling behind the times. Have never even seen one of these IBEC's on any of the planes that club members have, at the two clubs I belong to. Guess, they are falling behind also .......... LOL
