Landing lights

Okay, thanks.

I am still considering gettng them on the nose strut of my seneca. Can't
decide two narrow beam or two intermediate lights. One of each won't work
because of how they are positioned so tightly in the gear doors. I don't
want the light comming out, to be skewed looking.

I take it the new lights were waaay brighter?


By orders of magnitude; rather like using a big flashlight versus a match.

A Beech B36 - I have both the cowl and taxi (nose wheel) lights.


Available in:

Intermediate - 17° width
Landing - 9° width



What beam widths did you wind up with? would think the 9 degrees is too
small of a spot?


Landing light in thecowl, Intermediate on the nose wheel. They didn't
have the wider one (22 degrees IIRC) when I bought, or at least I didn't
know about it.


What was the real install time compared to estimates?


I didn't get an estimate from Lopresti, but I dropped the bird off in the
afternoon at the maintenance barn and it was done the next morning. Six
hours on the invoice as I recall.
