Just in case the new  builders have not considered HID lights. See the difference on my  10.

So the power requirement is < the stk Van's lights?  If true, then the wiring already in the wingtip for the existing landing light should work just fine.  Soon as I get the first flight in, I'll consider the change out.  Thanks for the info.

Hi guys, Steve here from Planelights.



Power draw:

On any HID system you will have about a 10sec warm up.  During that 10sec they will be pulling about 7a(80w) (at) 12v.  After they are warmed up, they will pull about 4.5a(54w) (at) 12v.  Your stock lights should have been 75w halogen bulbs, the wiring should be adequate to handle the HID's.  



These lights will work fine with a wig wag system.  You will need to be able to wire the lights to stay on for at least 1 minute prior to flashing.  That allows the xenon gas inside the bulb to stabilize prior to flashing. 



If you look at our website you will see the RFI comparison charts.  http://www.planelights.com/index.php?id=702  You will see that our ballast should not interfere with any Nav or Comm equipment.  We have had a few people say that a strobe light causes more intercom interference than our lights. 



Thanks

Steve
