Skates97 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 Note that this is not for certified aircraft and is not legal for a Mooney. It does fit and work. It does not have as wide a beam as the standard light but it is brighter, a more white light than yellow, and shines further. I used it for 20 months (left on for all flights) and it has a little under 200 hours on it. It is rated for 50,000 hours. I was able to pick up the Rigid 63362 on a flash sale on Amazon for $162 (about $200 off) or I would still have this on one my plane. This is the lamp: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LQG64S/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If interested feel free to PM me if you don't want to advertise having a non-certified bulb on your plane. 1 Quote

I had posted it up in a different thread when I saw it, purchased one, and later that day it wasn't showing anymore. I think it was only for a set quantity, not a specific time period. Quote
Culver LFA Posted March 25, 2019 Report Posted March 25, 2019 That's a good upgrade from the standard bulb at a great price. I...ahem, know a guy...that has one on his Mooney. It's been on all the time for years just like you did. Even if you don't fly at night much I think it's worth it for the daytime safety/great visibility to other traffic aspect alone. At night the beam is a bit narrower, but it's not a problem, just a different pattern with sharper lines and less flood. 1 Quote

The only real difference I noticed between this Whelen and the Rigid is that the Whelen is a spot only and the Rigid is a spot and wide so it gives a little more spread while taxiing. Here's the Amazon link to the Rigid, it is a little thicker which required moving the retaining ring out just a little. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0102OHDNA/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote
