[BC] LED obstruction lights

[Bobby Cox]

Austin Insulators has some new LED lighting that is very solid in high
RF environments.  They've proven them on high power Navy LF and VLF
sites.  Now they're offering them to the broadcast market.  They showed
them in the Kintronic booth at NAB last week.  I can get you more info.
if you contact me offline.

I've got a tower with a Hughey & Phillips (marker) obstruction fixture
that needs repair. It is functional, but severe weather can force
moisture into it.  I'm thinking that rather than trying to find a new
gasket and porcelain socket for this old incandescent beastie, I should
just replace it with a new LED unit.  As a matter of fact, I'm planning
to replace all the incandescent fixtures, other than code beacons, with
LED ones.

I would be interested in any caveats or comments, negative or positive,
about any of the various brands available.  On or off list is fine.
Thanks in advance!
