Landing light

I recall reading about a landing light bulb that is a lot brighter than
the usual ones.

I swear that when I turn mine on, it actually makes everything darker

Anyone have any leads to a REALLY bright landing light.

Yeah, but you won't like the price. Google LoPresti Boom Beam.

Thanks for the replies.
I checked out LoPresti Boom Beam and on their website they didn't
include the Cessna 172H so I emailed them. I'll report back on whether
it's available for my plane.

Thanks

Just got the reply from Lo Presti - it isn't STC'd for my model - 172H.

It was easy enough for me to get a field approval (PA-23-250) for it.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

True, but knots2u.com is working on cowl mount HIDs and if their wingtip
HID prices are any indication, it will be about half the price of
LoPresti's offering. Check out:

http://knots2u.com/HID20%20Light.htm

The problem is they've been in the "expecting certification next month"
mode for a year. If I had to pull the trigger right now, I'd buy the
LoPresti ($1K) for the cowl and the knots2u ($550 ea) for the wingtips.

I installed, with a field approval and the assistance of regular
contributor Jim Weir, a set of HID lights from RMD Aircraft.

Half the price for similar parts, and the suckers are BRIGHT.

Highly recommended, the installation was a snap.

I have a friend with a 96 A-36 Bonanza, who keeps his Boom Beams on all the
time for enhanced visibility in the daytime. Since they have something like
a 5,000-hour life, he sees no reason not to.

ditto the recommendation for the product and "leave the lights on."

The price of install w/b less if the A/P has done it before. Mine hadn't :
I paid $$$ for their education.
