In Derek Hine's plane we made a wing tip pulse light out of a scavenged
halogen bulb/reflector assembly and a piece of 1.75" aluminum tubing. The
assembly mounted in the standard wing tip on the face behind the strobe and
shone through the strobe lens. Remember that this was a recognition light
and the strobe lens did a great job of scattering the light so that it could
be seen from all angles. This would not make a good location for the landing
light.

As I recall the lamps were 150 watts each and alternately flashed at a 50%
duty cycle using a pluselight flasher. Having the pulsing lights on the wing
tips REALLY helps in the seeing part of "see and avoid". The 150 watt lamp
would normally turn the wing tip lens into a pool of plastic on the tarmac
but the 50% duty cycle cuts the heat by half. No worries, Mate.
