Hi all,



I am returning to the list after a multi year hiatus.  I completed my Europa 914 in 2004 using many of the design principals from Bob's book.



Anyhow what has prompted my return is my curiosity about the many LED landing lights and strobe light replacements I saw at the Oshkosh air show this year.  The Europa doesn't lend its self well for the placement of landing lights, but I was thinking that I could craft something up myself that would work.



Which brings me to my question.  Does anyone on the list know what LED devices and reflectors are being used for LED landing lights.  If so, I would appreciate it if someone could let me know.



Thanks,  Paul McAllister

Europa N378PJ

Paul,

        Do you have the Mono-wheel?   If so, use the speed fairing around

the outrigger to mount the landing light.   Bob Berube at  Flight

Crafters did a landing light in teh leading edge of the wing.  I don't

know who well it worked but the LED version should run cooler and thus

not effect the foam in a foam wing.  Other wise, cut an opening in the

leading edge and and access opening in the back of it.  That will work.

Paul McAllister was the first buyer of my LED position lights and tail lights, then after a horrendous run-in with some lightning, was also the second buyer. The tale of this episode in on Bob's AeroElectric Connection website http://tiny.cc/1utIH . The damage photos still frighten me! My third buyer landed in Texas USING only the LED position lights when his halogen landing lights had a circuit problem. This may have set an historic milestone in aviation lighting.



But I have decided not to enter the field of LED landing lights, even though I am a big promoter of them. There is NO WAY for me to make money in the field because of the thousands of people busily engaged in developing solutions. Chinese companies are making exact drop-in replacements for any lamp you can think of, and many you can't. See: http://tiny.cc/h2Alq



Also I recommend dealing with: Deal Extreme at  http://tiny.cc/kzx8A
