Thread: aircraft landing lights

G'day Mick

A few points to ponder.

They certainly are bright ... read will blind a mole at 10K.
They are also usually 24V .. a tad of a prob here.
As I understand it 100W is max legal, and I believe these little suckers exceed that by a tad.

Might be wrong tho........

Cheers

Hmmm People will laugh and point but up here im more concerned with black bulls in the middle of the road than legalities. Im gonna have to start making up little stickers for the roadkill that i can put on the wing. I have been squirriling away for a decent set of spotties but if i can save some bucks im happy. Theyd definately have to come off when i get back to civillization though.

Most of ones I have seen are 28volt sealed beamed units. Very bright and go a long way with spot pattern.

There must be a way to make them work.

Forget the aircraft landing lights. They are 28V.

Get a decent set of automotive lights.
Lightforce are fantastic.

All you need is a set of those nite vision goggles and you dont need any lights [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

You can get them in 12 volt I went round the maintance hangers at bankstown airport and got 2 sets just the sealed beams had to get the cases to mount them you can read a newspaper at 100 yards at midnight

Hi Mick-Kelly, few years ago I was working in the bush and got to know a few locals. One was a guy who’s father had a light aircraft and got his hands on a box of USA made GE 12 volt 250 watt sealed beams Spots.
They fitted into a standard seal beam driving light housing.
Don’t know where you get them but they are great out on the long straights at night. BUT when you dim, you are blind.
Cheers
