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

Lots of people put up photos or videos of the afterburner rings or landing and strobe lights etc. But they are usually in the workshop, or outside in the twilight on the ground. And always with the camera up close. They rarely seem to have photos/video of it in the air in normal bright daylight at normal flying distance. I once fitted a model with a lighting system that came with hazard warnings not to look at it as it was so bright. On its own it lit up the workshop. You couldn't see them in flight! When someone shows video of afterburner rings in flight on a bright sunny day and we can see it, I will believe it.
