Reminds me of my uncle who swore by a wooden hand float, said it made him feel like a real craftsman.

What color temp did you go with exactly, like 2700k or warmer? Asking because 2700k still felt a little cool in my place and going warmer made the bigger difference. Curious if you tried anything lower before landing on the soft white.

Man, the pin to strap joint is where it gets you, not the pin itself. That crimp or screw lug builds up green junk inside the barrel where you can't see it, and your meter reads fine at the tip while the connection is half dead. Here's the angle nobody brings up: the resistance changes with temperature and vibration. A pin that passes 2.5 ohms cold on the ramp can creep over in the sun or after a few flight cycles. So test it twice, once cold and once after the plane sits in the heat, and wiggle the harness while watching the numbers. If it moves at all, the pin is junk even if it reads good on paper.
