 |
|
I have fooled a bit with different lights to be used as landing lights.
Thus far the bigger the parabolic reflector, the better they seem to work.
Why is it that a huge reflector works better than a smaller one? Is it
that perfect aim of a specific spot on reflector is less critical with a
larger reflector?
Anyone know of a small diameter light (preferless than 2.5") that is
suitable for a landing light and does not make too much heat?
Anyone using a Hella Xenon? Are they as close to a standard cessna landing
light?
Thx.

We used a XeVison. No probems, except the price.

Some buddies installed Hella lights. Some have experienced noise
problems with the Hella.

Not sure I understand your question. The HID lights are bright and their
|
current draw is low. Some months ago someone raised a visibility issue.
That's old wife's tales.
FWIW,

These have worked well for me with 100w halogen bulbs:
