REFLECTOR: New LED lighting options

[Dennis Martin]

Also consider *Sailor Sam's* LED courtesy light clusters (4 LEDs per light)
for installation in the plenum and baggage strakes. Pricing is really low
for red - $10.45 per cluster. Excellent, fast service.

I mounted the small cluster of 4 red LEDs in the panel above the
pilot/copilot. But, don't mount them on the outside. I cut small football
size holes in the plenum, then sanded around the plastic body and epoxied
them to the inside of the plenum. (You could also glass them. If using
epoxy, be careful - epoxy might gravitate out the holes. Just have some
toothpicks handy to keep it from leaking out). Only the four LEDs are
visible from the cockpit - really looks great, and they put out plenty of
light. I put three sets each on pilot/copilot side.

Want diffused lighting? I installed two of these larger LEDs in the center
plenum - one up front and one for passengers. A little pricey, but they will
help you load and unload the cockpit at night.

Good luck.
