Default RE: NEW Afterburner LED rings - will this interest jet pilots ?

The planes with AB rings I have seen in "real life", all used the "super bright" LED's, the ones that you almost could not look at when running full steam.
And when they were used in a plane in sunlight, they were bright and visible, but if they didn't have that high output they had, you would not be able to see them, I think you need way more output than the one in the video!
I'm afraid that there is a reason that the "other rings" cost what they do.
But nevertheless, a great idea !
