I would really like to see and hear how works for you after you fly it. I am not sure but by the looks of it on the ground, It may not luminate the runway effectively on your approach to the runway. Really interested in finding out how it worked!!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PWVD357 Pros:
- Extremely bright - No mechanisms required - Efficient, runs around 12W for that much light
Cons: - Light not focused, so lots of spillover and possibly blinding folks on the ground - Needs 24V (solved this one as I made a 12V to 24V converter) Haven't flown it yet, but I'll let you know when I do. My plan is to seal & attach it to the front of the strut with some electronics-grade silicone (Momentive RTV5818) to allow it to flex, along with some clear wing tape for secondary retention.
