Hi Bob-



 	  Quote: 	
		  I have a Grimes P/N G-9950-1 Oscillating Beacon and a Grimes P/N 5530 

Retractable Landing Light which I would like to install. 

but if anyone 

could steer me to a pin out and/or the installation instructions for

either or 
	


 	  Quote: 	
		  both of these units I would sure be grateful.

  
	


 	  Quote: 	
		  The landing light has a three pin receptacle which is about one inch in 

diameter and that one is definitely labeled A, B and C.

 
	


Can't help with the beacon, but the landing light sounds like the ones on

our Harpoon.  I don't know the Grimes number, but they are AN3095-2.  On

these units A is retract, B is extend, C is lamp power, and the unit

grounds to the airframe mechanically through it's mounting.  Our units are

switched internally such that they automatically illuminate with about 10

degrees of extension.  As the Harpoon is a tail dragger, this allows the

lights to be repositioned as taxi lights.  As I understand it, variants of

this light for nose draggers (eg DC-9) don't illuminate until full

extension is achieved.



Hope that helps-

Does anybody know if they made these in a 12v version?

Good Evening John,

  

 Supposedly, mine is a twelve volt version. However, I have not yet put  power to it!

Good Evening Glen,

  

 Helps a lot!

  

 I would never have thought that they would use a case to airframe  ground. I think I can figure out the rest of it OK.

  

 Thanks again and best of luck with the Harpoon as well as your other  projects.

  

 Happy  Skies,

Have you considered the flat plate drag area  that will be produced by the extension of that light? It will be like big speed  brakes.
