Reflector: Strake Lights

[Phil Hooper]

Jorge,

Paul Calhoun did this with mixed results, at least during installation.  It
was more work than he thought.  I think he is still on the Reflector, if not
I can get you his email.

P.S.  I'm the tall guy that introduced myself at the Spruce sidewalk sale.

I have modified installation of a small taxi light on the nose.

I was thinking about installing my lights in the strakes and I know some 
of you have done it.  My questions to those already flying are:
1.  Does the canard pose a noticeable obstruction to the beam?
2.  Is the reflection on the white canard surfaces intense enough to 
decrease night vision adaptation when turned on?
I would appreciate any experience and comments.
