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.

 Post note: Sheilded wire is unneccessary.  I use high grade Indy race wire.

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.

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.
