Just another satisfied customer weighing in. I put these Baja Design Squadron lights in my leading edges (duckworks kit). They are so bright, it makes night flying very easy. I went up tonight for some quick laps around the pattern for my night currency. This is only the third time I've been up flying around late in the RV-9A. The other times were half twilight or full moon. These babies really light up the whole runway. I'm not planning on doing much night flying, but it is nice to be current, and the air was certainly nice and calm after dark.

Thanks again Mike for the tip on these lights.

Bruce,

Yah... these things are great!

I now fly at night when I might have had reservations to do so prior.

I have my left light angled slightly downward for taxi and it is superb!

Mikey, you will go down in the annals of RV history for discovering these awesome lights!

...and yes, I said annals!
