I used the Nova EPSX - 402 supply for something like $80. It is fully potted for
"extreme" conditions and has two strobe outlets, 3.75 amps draw and 12 diffrerent
selectable flash patterns in a box 4.7" X 4.4" X 1.7" to feed two wingtip
strobes ($18 each). It works great.

For position lights, I used three luxeon stars - one red one green, and you guessed it, one white. They are only $6.00 each. I put them in series with a calculated power resistor and they are so bright it is hard to look at. Total draw for position lights is one amp or less. I thermally bonded them to little thin sheetmetal brackets and mounted them under some Kutzleman clear plastic domes with the strobe heads. Since then, Kutzleman has come out with their streamline combo (www.kestrobes.com) essentially doing the same thing for $94 that I made for less than $40 each.

Total cost of strobe and position light system is less than $180.
