Landing light


Recommended Posts

There have been a number of threads here about various LED landing lights.  I have one PAR46 landing light, and I happen to use the Aero-Lites Sunsetter 46 and like it better than the original Whelen Parmetheus, but that's not a particularly useful comparo.

Our a/c has installed one Aero-Lites Sunsetter PAR 46.  Four of the 18 LEDs have light dispersal gratings over them which makes it a combination landing/taxi light.   It is so much safer when taxiing than the tightly focused incandescent energy waster it replaced.     The picture below was taken when I was about 3-4 miles from the airport at dusk.  I always fly with it on.

if only there was an prior LED landing light thread to reference.   Sometimes the search function is not so good.     in google type in mooneyspace and the the subject you are searching.

 

Yes, @Yetti raises a good point.   Mooneyspace has a 1980's library era search engine syntax that is really cumbersome to use to find anything.  It seems that one member, and only one member, has mastered it.   It is not @Yoda but @carusoam.   You can seek out his knowledge.   Alternatively, you can do as suggested and do this in google (without the quotes):   " LED landing light site:mooneyspace.com"   Answers you will find.   Old threads you will revive.

My spec to Whelen was simple:

I want the light that fits my airplane that sets the trees at the far end of the runway on fire

The PAR 46 Prometheus is great, and while the trees at the far end of the runway only smoke a little, it's a really nice landing light nonetheless.
