We're looking at installing landing lights on our Rans S6S. The ones offered
by Aircraft Spruce are a bit big, about 5" diameter. I'm trying to find
something a bit smaller but equally effective. Does anyone here know what
(if any) requirements a landing light has, such as beam angle, width,
brightness etc??

What are those White, or blue white lights that are showing up in cars
now. Although they claim no glare, for older eyes the things are
worse than meeting regular lights on bright. I'd think they'd make an
excellent landing light in the proper housing.

The Hella Micro DE Xenon looks like a really interesting option. Less than
3" diameter, low power (35W) but very high light output and resilient to
vibration. See:

Anyone used this? Good or bad? Any alternatives that are equally small and
effective?

Thanks!
