We encounter an even more basic issue on occasion regarding 12 or 24Volts availability at the ballast.

Once in a while, we get the call "I have 12 volts at the ballast input connector but the ...

Good Afternoon 'Lectric Bob,

I have a faint memory of a Cessna 210 having that sort of problem. I think that was the incident that prompted your old company to add starter engaged warning light ...

We are now Certified (used a documented certified lab) for DO-160E testing standards. We exceeded the requirements by quite a margin. DO-160E includes a noise standard for both conducted and radiated ...

I fly a composite (E-glass not Carbon) Glasair and I am trying to deal with some static problems. A suggestion was to run a separate ground wire from radios stack , the EFIS and the AHRS directly to ...

I'm piecing together an HID landing light system and need to decide between
D1S and D2S bulbs. D1S has the igniter in the bulb, and D2S has it in the
ballast. Is there any advantage in eliminating t ...

Ed,

Great question and glad you asked it.

A better way to compare them (than cost per lumen) is cost per hour (actual usage). In the cost per lumen approach as you suggest, the INSTALLED cost fo ...

Thanks,
Photometric units contain plenty of traps for the unwary.

Don't know about the things you mention. I'm not selling anything. I believe you are. I submitted information only. I assume equipment changes, most times are made for the good. Not using the for ...

Uh, you haven't seen the latest on the MaxPulse perhaps. It has a user adjustable time delay for full on prior to pulsing - from 0 to 60 seconds.
So I'm not sure what you mean here.

For a good landing light to reach out 1000 ft or more you must be able collimate (sp) the light. Something that so far cannot be done so well or easily with LED. With a high output LED you must mainta ...

The new pulsing Lopresti PowerPulse is the same unit made by http://seatoneng.com/ or http://www.maxpulsemaxdim.com/comparisons.htm is a pretty cool compact form ...

We have installed both the MaxDim and MaxPulse in our planes. Both work great and were easy to install. I must add my two cents here. LoPresti, RMD, Knot2U, xevision, the leaders in the HID market, ...

According to my research your car has D2S bulbs. Most likely Philips but also possibly Osram brand. If those are the original bulbs you should consider to replace them. They are 9 years old and likely ...

If your car came with HID stock and you have not changed your bulbs to Chinese bulbs, there is no way your car has 6000 or 6500K bulbs.

All cars come from the factory with 4200K bulbs. Your headlig ...
