I "got er done" following Pete H & Jeff B;s lead I made a set of nav lights.
I used 4 on each side Luxeon K2 stars driven by 700ma power pucks mounted on the end wing ribs. Took a few fittings to get the acrylic mirrors to fit under the lens. My bench test showed the aluminum backing plate/heatsink
ran at 168F/76C @14.2 volts (65F ambient), IMO they are more than bright enough even from side angles. they cost me $115.09 total. Parts came from LED supply, Good folks answerd all my questions. and Ebay for the 12"X12" X1/8 mirrored plexi.
Its hard to get a good photo depicting the intensity of these LEDs
