Default RE: Strobe lights...any problems?

ORIGINAL: kingair41

I've been using the Ram strobe system in my Bonanza for 3 years with NO problems. They are the true strobes with the xenon tube. I have 2 on the Bonanza. One for each wing tip. I also have a schematic for the nav lites that can be used to drive 1 or 2 bulbs or 3 or 4 high intensity LEDS. The flash rate can be made adjustable easily. Send me your E-mail and I'll send you the schematic. The parts are available at Radio Shack and the LEDS are listed on the schematic where they can be bought at. For around $10 bucks you can build your own and have fun too. Commercially bought units can cost $20 or more. The high intensity LEDS are used as landing lights which are bunches brighter than the bulbs and pull next to nothing in current on a 9 volt battery. Any questions you can contact me. Later.......
Are they highly visible on a sunny day? I would really like to see some pics of scale lighting in action in sunlight as opposed to dark indoor pics most manufacturers show us. I would like to add nav, landing and strobe lights to some of my scale jets but from what I have seen so far nothing truly shows up very well at all in the sunlight
