I believe there are small incandescent bulbs that (reportedly) reliably
emulate the color mix and spectrum of sunlight. I don't know if anyone has
come up with an LED that does that as well. I was wondering if anyone has
put such a light in position or on a gooseneck fixture that would allow it
to illuminate a PDA or tablet used for moving map/navigation, etc. My HP
PDA is actually at its most readable in direct sunlight. It's when it's up
under instrument cowling, it can be difficult to see map details on it. I
was hoping to use a tablet PC (Motion or similar) fixed permanently in the
center of my panel with one of the currently available nav software packages
(Anywheremap, etc.) as my primary, large screen, navigation system. If such
a light could be positioned where it would cast "sunlight" on the tablet
screen, it might be a near all around answer regardless of heading and the
position of the "actual" sun.
What am I missing here, if anything??
Regards,
Lee...

Don't know if this has been posted before or not, but this place has just
about every LED imaginable and then some.
As for LED's on a gooseneck, the RV guys do it all the time. They buy the
cheap USB flex lights and clip off the connector, add a resistor and mount
it with an adel clamp on the side of the canopy or fuselage.
