So I have 10,000 worth of these sumbitches..  I love it...  Thanx man ..
well F-16 ought to be 28vdc and 115vac..   so im just chicken to crank it up
all the way [ voltage ]  I can tell that at prox 12vac it's bright but not
as bright as would need to be if it was on a nose strut or something
close... 28 would seem about right... but ill hold off full voltage till we
can confirm this voltage..thanx again.. mac/mc
