I am posting this here and hopefully find a willing participant:
I have a dear friend who is owner and editor of an aviation magazine and newsletter called "Contact" magazine. It is geared towards Homebuilt and experimental Aviators. These folks build composite airplanes and put converted VW and Corvair engines in them and fly all over the place.
Pat wrote me and linked me to some banter on their forums about Luxeons, lEDs in general, and the possibility of developing LED landing lights and such.
Pat said the timing is right for an article on LED flashilights and LEDs. I was hoping one of you experts may want to step up to the plate and write this article. Here is what Pat had to say about the needed article:
"An introduction to high performance LEDs and Illumination tools"
As long as it keeps the interest of the experimental aviator with an engineering mentality, make it as long as you wish. I don't like to put constraints on my
contributors. I can make editorial cuts as needed for space, or I can alter the image size to either shorten to lengthen the article. I make all articles begin
at a page beginning, and end at a page end. This way I can move articles around
as needed. We do a compilation book every 5 years, and having the articles like this makes it easy to put the book together.
Thanks!Pat"
So who among you will write this piece? I am not looking for suggestions on an author-I am hunting down THE author-so please sign-on if you feel you have the LED Technology know-how and writing chops. It sounds like fun for the right person(s). Consider co-authorship too. Any help on this appreciated. I will link whom ever you may be directly with Pat Panzera for further discussions etc. Post here and or PM me.
Thanks,
Rich
