Waiting on the delivery service for parts. I will be offering this version with 8-watt LED switchbacks as an option (way more light than even my Gen 3 versions) The test piece will have photos with both the Cree 25w amber-only and the 8-watt switchback.

Finally got all the parts in yesterday (including the prototype Cree 25w LED bulbs) I've been tinkering around with finding the most effective method for installing them so the twist-lock base can be installed easily.
Should have the prototype finished with photos of both bulb types by Wednesday.

interesting idea. What bulbs did you have in mind? iI built a set of corners packed with leds. looks good but still needs improvement. I think I'm going to take some lessons learned and build another set hopefully even better.
