I took have seen a fellow broadcaster spend thousands of dollars with replacment LED beacon parts and the tower labor to transport up and down tower.  Something to be said for a light bulb!  Products are not ready for prime time on AM towers.

Gary,
I would not be afraid of installing the Dialight LED beacons. We  had a
long and torturous ordeal with LED beacons on a 3 yr. old tower. 15
months ago we removed some malfunctioning Orga beacons and they were
replaced with Dialight units. We have had no problems since. The Orga's
lasted about 6 months before they started having problems.
I would like to do an article on this ordeal, and with Barry's blessing,
will in the near future.
