ELECTRONIC POSITION / TAIL LIGHT / ANTICOLLISION LIGHT sold by Aircraft Spruce
might work for you.  Whelen are good, but they draw about 14 amps when you have
the Nav lights and Strobe on.  I had  to put a 40 Amp on my Jabiru to handle
the load for night flights.
Your engine only puts out 15 Amps, then when it gets warm it decreases.

Am I required to have anti-collision lights on my homebuilt?

No, if you are only going to using your aircraft for day, VFR flight. FAR 91.205
lists the instrument and equipment requirements for standard category aircraft.
This FAR does not apply to Experimental-Amateur Built aircraft.

If you intend to use your aircraft for either night VFR or IFR flight, you will
have to comply with the requirements of FAR 91.205 because the operating 
limitations
you receive as a part of your airworthiness certificate will include the
following language:

After completion of phase I flight testing, unless appropriately equipped for 
night
and/or instrument flight in accordance with  91.205, this aircraft is to
be operated under VFR, day only.
