I have the same basic parameters you describe, and to add to your questions, I have noticed in the automotive sphere, the halogens appear in light blue and yellow lensed versions as well. What say the experts is the highest visibility of the lot in a wig-wag setup? |
When we installed one of Roy Lopresti's first HID
offerings in the experimental Bonanza at Beech, the
tower complained that the color temperature of the
HID was so much closer to blue-sky background that
one couldn't see it as well as the stock incandescent
landing/taxi light. I'm told that contemporary HIDs
are not so badly afflicted.
I recall reading of an experiment by the allies during
WWII to mount a series of high color temperature lamps
along leading edge of wings and adjusting intensity
such that the airplane viewed from the front was
more difficult to see against blue sky. Not sure
how well it worked but the idea seems plausible
if not heavy and something of a kluge.
