Thread: I think I have my new landing light

After draining the battery with the 100W, I used the 50W for a couple of years. At a trade show this week I got a sample of a 4.5W 20-degree LED lamp from a lighting supply company. I have never seen this particular model in a store, yet.

I flew last night and the light was ample for taxiing and landing. The tower said they could see it from over 2 miles away (in a city environment with lots of light pollution).

This is a great combination because of the added visibility in daytime without the problems of pulling 4-8 amps while idling on approach.

Please note: if you plan to fly to an unlit strip on a moonless night, you will want to stick with the 50W or 100W.

Hi Scott,

Do you have a bulb number?

could it be something similar as this ?

I might have to try one of the 9W. I had another high-power LED MR16, but the heatsink was too deep to allow it to fit in the holder.

Also, this bulb was screwed together. I dropped it from 5 feet onto my garage floor and it still works. The lamp in the ad looks like it is glued together. I've had one like that come apart on me.

It had LM407 printed on it
