[simpits-tech] cockpit lighting

[joab ryan]

I havent tried optic but the ultra bright white LEDs
work great, there is no heat and power consumsion is
minimal. Just drill a hole in the back of the panel
and glue it in. They work great. And if you want day
and night back lighting get the two color LEDs reverse
the dc volts and change the color.
