Thanks for the link!
I would love for everyone who has been to CAE and flown downwind at night to do this survey.
For some reason, CAE's lights are OK when you are lined up with the rwy..... But they are absolutely too dim when abeam.
I have noticed this at other places, but no where as bad as CAE.
In general, though the LEDs are much dimmer at distance.

They are brighter than the old ones, no doubt, but when the vis is down and you want to find the runway, well, which would you rather have?
