What is the bulb used for the Allegro 2000 cowling and wing tip landing lights?

Tim:
You should use Halogen bulbs. You may use any wattage you choose as long as you do not overload the wiring used to feed the bulbs. I used two 12V 25W open front, clear reflector halogen bulbs for the wing tip lights. You can use open front bulbs for the wing tips because the wing tip lights are enclosed in the plastic covers. For the cowling light I used a glass enclosed 12V 50W clear halogen bulb. The wing tip bulbs each need to be fiber glassed in-place in the wing tip mounting piece, and the 50W glass halogen also fiber glassed in-place in the hole you will need to cut in the cowling. The hole in the cowling needs to be slightly smaller than the rim of the glass halogen bulb. Fit the bulb through the hole from the front, and fiber glass it in-place on the back side using fiberglass power and resin. Use the same technique for the wing tip lights. The female connectors for the bulbs should be correctly matched to the bulbs and be ceramic connectors because of the heat generated by the halogen bulbs. Don’t use any other type connector. I’ve had no problems with my installation.

Thanks Hugh.
I am replacing a bulb with a broken filliment in the wing tip light. It was quite a chore to get the bulb out of the reflector. I could not tell what wattage the existing bulb was due to the glue removing the printing on the bulb.
