LED landing Lights

Me, too.  Run it continuously and never worry about it burning out!

Compared to the incandescent light…

1) Under best conditions… the old light burns out every few years…

2) When installed 90° off from best orientation… it burns out within a few hours after being jostled strongly…

Go LEDs!

I think vibration has a lot to do with the premature failures. Hot filaments and vibration don’t do well together.

Interestingly, I never ever replaced my incandescent landing light for 26 years. I didn’t leave it on all the time, but it was always on for 10 miles either arriving or departing an airport. I only changed it out when I got the LED bug.
