Just spent three  hours swapping the halogen landing lights provided by Vans with a set  of  50W direct replacement HID lights. The before and after pictures  should be on http://www.planelights.com/index.php?id=661 in  a few days. Will be able to show the lights at OSH on the  31,1,2.

David,  

   

Stop it already!  Every time I think I am done buying ‘goodies’ for my plane, somebody comes up with one of those have to have it items that cost me more money!  

   

So tell us, what is the heat output of the HID vs. the stock Halogen’s?  I am concerned about the heat warping the fiberglass wingtip….and I am sure others are concerned and would like to know also.

(not sure where I’m at anymore – too many little things left to do!)

HID's are far cooler than Halogens....far cooler, which is one

of their benefits.

Check out their site for some other questions. I  had the same thought and recall they had a Q& A

  

Qo they get hot 

A: Yes, but the heat is directly  equivalent to the power being applied.  If your original application was  designed for a 55w halogen, then going to a 35w or a 50w HID should not generate  a significant amount more heat than the original halogen.

the replacement HID seems to have less radiated heat to the  fiberglass tip. When testing the lights I placed my hand about 1.5" ahead of the  tip of the light (lens off) and it became hot; but , for unknown reasons the HID  did not heat the strobe glass directly in front of it. going flying tonight so  will have more info later.
