Default Suggestions for installing FlyLite Light Tubes

Anyone have any suggestions about affixing Tower's FlyLite Light Tubes to wings and fuselage surfaces?

I've tried Blemderm but I'm not too happy with the results.

I'm thinking of cutting a groove and epoxying the lights in place.... but I was looking for any suggestions from anyone who has affixed these lights onto their planes.

Thanks.

Bruce,
Do a search on Tower's site using the "light tube" as the search terms.

Here are the results of that search.

I have similar lights that I got from Varad a few years ago. I just used clear radio box tape to hold them down on a zagi.

The groove with clear RTV may be an option. An interesting product.

I tried tape, but I'm not happy with it.

RTV or silicon adhesive with the groove may be viable to give a fairly clean look.
