I am planning a strip of very small clear bulbs on a dimmer encased in a white flexible plastic tube along the edge of the glairsheild that is approximately six inches from the panel. Shop testing not complete. I'm moving the bulb spacing to adjust brightness to a maximum level then in the aircraft I will dim them as required. I love the Aeroenhancements system but this is one part that is enjoyable to build yourself for about 1/20 the cost. Look for ideas amongst the custom car parts supply houses. Miniature fluorescents are available now too.
