Hi Guy's, R2 should be RED not WHITE! Top most light on the Mast! Anchor lights are RED and their arc of view is 360 degree's!

Sounds like Albert Einstein's ghost!! Get well soon If you are happy with the arrangement in my table I'll knock up a wiring sketch for it. All the best, Doug PS: I used the MacAffee 'washing machine' to scrub the electrons before displayin …

Thanks Doug. You’re amazing! Somehow I’ve managed to pick up The Curse Of The Pink Eye. I can see OK this morning so I’m replying quickly before The Goo blinds me again. Over the weekend I went through a cycle of “blink, blink, blink...I ca …

Here the result for batt voltage (Vs) 7.2V, the 'nominal' voltage. LEDs should still 'strike' but will be a little dimmer. Esp fore and aft Nav lights. The resistors were chosen to (hopefully) prevent the LEDs from blowing at fully charged …

Doug: I was thinking along the same vein for the wiring in the mast; a common “buss” for the LED grounds. Sure would make the installation a bit easier. I like your socket idea a lot. I was considering a wiring conduit running up the space …

Agree Pete, But then telephone wires come as twisted pairs (to minimise induced interference) which gives them additional strength (and bulk). Your wiring looks to me to be about 24 gauge. I also agree with space in the mast, had also ponde …

Evenin' Pete, Not AWOL at all, haven't noticed that you were AWOL before either!) The connectors are an excellent idea, as already briefly discussed. Don't use the wrapping wire for the Smoker though. That wire is only good for about 500mA …

Hi Pittsfieldpete, I use really tiny wire for wiring running lights! Bought it as radio shack years ago! Wire wrapping wire is the best to use. Especially when you can't hide the wire! Paint black or what ever color your using. Best thing f …

Hi I got 50mts from when I was at work and so far I still have some 45+ left. In the past I have used telephone/alarm wire and that has worked well. Fred

Hello, Fred: Thank you very much for your information about wrapping wire. That kind of wire will be easy to conceal inside the Richardson’s mast en route to each of the six mast-mounted LED navigation lights I hope to use. Excellent! Thank …

Hi, Doug: Sorry about that. Where power enters the circuit board the reading is 8.08 volts, same as the 7.2V battery pack when it’s fully charged. That sounds like something from an Abbott & Costello routine!

Hi, Doug: I managed to measure voltages at the outputs for each LED as well as the the bulb in the pilot house. However, I couldn’t measure voltages on the “input” of the five LED resistors. From what I found by searching on line these resi …
