I have 2000 plus hours on my RV8 with Lightspeed ignition. No problems, great performance. I have found that NIPON Denso spark plugs number X27GPRU with adapter bushings available from Light speed seem to perform the best. (note, I have dual electronic ignitions, NO Magnetos). I use a small standby battery that will provide 4 hours of operation in the unlikely event of total electircal system failure.

I will add a post note to my previous reply,
To my knowledge, the Lightspeed is the only full CAPACITANCE DISCHARGE ignition versus the inductive systems of most of the others.

Let’s see, some of the usual suspects include:
Light Speed Engineering’s Plasma III: http://www.lightspeedengineering.com/
Unison LASAR: http://www.unisonindustries.com/ourproducts/lasarelectronicignition.html
EFii: http://www.flyefii.com/
G3i: http://www.g3ignition.com/
EMAG (suppose to be real close to releasing a P-Mag for the 6-cyl Lycs): www.emagair.com

When I was talking to Klaus before, he did mention to me that
the Lightspeed was by far the most spark energy of any of the
systems and that the others wouldn't even come close.
He rattled off some numbers that went in one ear and out
the other, but it was quite a bit more power. When I was
standing there, a guy came in and started thanking him profusely
because his wife had an issue where the cylinders had some sort
of problem and it caused the engine oil to be fouling the
plugs really bad on a flight and she had to make an emergency
landing. He said that he was certain that if he had had any
other system, it would have never fired through the oil
that way, and he was convinced it saved her life. I think
the other ignition system on the other set of plugs had
been completely fouled and wasn't firing at all.
All I can say is, after hearing a Lightspeed user pull up
at a fly-in one day, it became one of the big motivations
for me to build an RV...because I'd never heard a system
sound that good before. And now I'm liking mine.
