 Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:20 pm Post subject: New (to me) LED Landing Lights |
 |
|
In 2011 I replaced my two Halogen landing lights with two Aerosun 800 (only the 1600's are currently produced). They put out a lot more light and use significantly less current than Halogen. A few weeks ago a friend of mine installed a pair of BajaDesign Squadron Pro lights and I saw how much more light they put out for about the same current draw. Unfortunately, they are just a bit too big to install in the leading edge of my airplane wing, so I ordered a pair of their smaller S2 Pro Lights and installed them. Even though the Aerosun 800's are brighter than my old Halogens, the S2 Pro's are so much brighter. I have attached pictures so you can see the difference between them.
Neither of the two generate any RF interference in my fiberglass airplane which was a big concern for me. The Aerosun 800 have a built in wig-wag circuit where the S2 Pro does not. In order to get them to wig-wag I will install a Crazed Pilot wig-wag unit which was highly recommended for this application.
So if you are looking to install some awesome LED landing lights in one of our airplanes, I highly recommend either of these.

Galin, did you get the spots or the combo units.

I got the spot units. On approach you can see the runway significantly higher. They have enough "bleed over" to make taxiing with them a complete non issue. Besides, we approach to land at about 80Kts while we taxi at less than 15Kts.

I went flying today and did my 1st night landing with the new lights. It is a BIG difference in illumination. I could see the runway markings from about 500ft and illumination while taxiing was significantly better. I attached two photos of the lights in use. One are the lights illuminating the hangar across the way from mine while the other is as I taxied back from landing.
