I have a friend with a Bonanza. He has via an stc, a landing light

Interesting idea. I was not aware of this option.

Do you suppose there is some type of in-line switch that prevents the
lights from illuminating if the landing gear is up? I have wondered the
same about my default taxi light on the nose gear when I discovered I
inadvertently left the taxi light on after the gear came up.
