I finally have purchased LED Landing and Taxi lights for my Mooney Missile

 

The full description is below - however what I am asking for is the following:

 

I need a three way toggle switch - ON, OFF, Pulse - for the taxi light.  I need suggestions of a three way rocker or toggle switch.  I haven't chatted with my MSC or any A&P yet - just getting the Mooney Space suggestions first.

 

Full Description:

 

I went with Aero LEDs

 

1 36HX Taxi Light

1 36 LX Landing Light

 

My Missile currently has a K cowling (part of the STC) on a J airframe, so that's why I have two par 36 lights on a M20J.  However, as part of the Missile conversion, the lights were not separated into two separate switches.  It's one circuit that lights up both lights as landing lights.

 

For this install, I'm going to add a circuit for the taxi light.

 

The landing light, the 36LX LED will be hooked up and I'll turn that on and off as I please - the bulb is like a normal bulb - on and off only.

 

 

The Taxi light, the 36HX, can be off, pulse, or be on continuously.  If I had wing mounted landing lights, I'd just put two 36HX's in the wing and configure them for WIG WAG function, pulse, on, or off.  However, under the nose, lights right next to each other don't make sense for wig wag, so I decided to make the taxi light, with the 40 degree spread, to be the one that can pulse.  It does not need a separate power source to do so.  It's just a matter of how you hook up the wires and is simply built into the circuitry.  The HX is more expensive than the LX.

 

I'll need a three way toggle switch - ON, OFF, Pulse - for the taxi light.  I need suggestions of a three way rocker or toggle switch.  I haven't chatted with my MSC or any A&P yet - just getting the Mooney Space suggestions first.

 

Thanks!
