Landing lights, incandescent, halogen and Xenon HID
I have finally got my wing tips painted and on my Seneca, they have the
hid lights in them. I had the Piper wingtip recognition lights before, 35 watters, not good enough to show a light in daylight. My attention is now turning towards my actual landing lights. These are located on the nosegear strut. I am thinking of getting halogens to replace the incandescents. Has anybody done this and did you see much of a difference, if so, how much? I don't want to get hid's for the nose gear, there is only one manufacturer that has an stc for this. I don't like the installation set up. Specifically the ballast being glued up inside the wheelwell. Also in cold weather it will take awhile to warm them up, I will probably have landed by then. For those who don't know, the lights go out when the gear goes up (a good thing really) even if the switches are still on. 4509 110,111 cp 100 watts used incandescent Q4509 140,000 cp 100 watts used halogen So has anybody anything to offer by way of comparison?
