Hi Fred,



Well I have the bronze in my aircraft.  At the time I purchased my kit it

was all that was on offer, and at that time the design criteria of the

aircraft was for day VFR use.



I can say for night flying it is worse than useless, so much so I that I

will never land at night unless its my own airport.  I am probably going to

fit the biggest, brightest, meanest Xe light I can find to try and solve the

problem this winter.



For day use its quite nice.  I supplement the shading with some stick on

automotive screens that are intended to protect infants in the back seat

from the sun.  These work well and fold up to be quite small.  For

additional eye protection I have some sun glasses with the same tint.  This

shade really does help with the cloud definition.

Thanks Paul...BTW, for Xe lighting, you might check out 

www.Creativair.com and look at their pixs of their new Xe alternative 

to Halogen...the Xe will fit within your wingtip light covers along w/ 

their LED position lights.

Fred,



I must look at something else or...

The XE lights from Creative Air have a diameter of 4.5 inch but the wing tip 

has  room for less the 4 inch.  The Halogen lights are 2 inch in diameter 

and work with the led lights but are by far not as efficient as the XE 

lights.

Fred, Baby Blue has the light grey plexi, all around.  No problem at night.
