OSUAV8TER Posted July 7, 2020 Report Posted July 7, 2020 If you're thinking about upgrading your stock incandescent landing light or an older generation LED landing light consider the Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) Parmetheus Pro LED landing light. It comes in a PAR-36 or PAR-46 with dual voltage so any particular light can support your 14V or 28V electrical system. It is nearly twice as bright as the WAT Parmetheus Plus brand and is one of the best bang-for-the buck lights out there. These lights were originally designed for turbine aircraft such as Kingairs, Citations, Challengers, Hawkers, etc. so the quality in design is much higher. That is exemplified with a heat sink on the front of the LED so it does not frost over in icing conditions (assuming it is exposed and not behind a lens). They carry an STC for all piston aircraft and come with a 5 year warranty.The PAR-36 light has been one of my best selling lights. I often sell fellow BTers with nose bowl mounted lights and one on the nose gear a PAR-36 Parmetheus Pro landing light and a PAR-36 Parmetheus Plus taxi light (P36P2T for 28V and P36P1T for 14V).I just installed a pair of the PAR-46 Parmetheus Pro landing lights in my M-35 and there is a noticeable difference between the PAR-46 Parmetheus Plus landing lights and the Pros. I love them.I am working on a YouTube video that highlights the differences between the Parmetheus Plus and the Parmetheus Pro landing lights.You can order them off my website at https://www.gallagheraviationllc.com/wh ... hting.htmlPlease email me any questions or concerns you have at gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com or give our sales department a call at 1.833.425.5288.

OSUAV8TER Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Posted August 18, 2020 I did a neat video with my Bonanza where I stuck a PAR-46 Parmetheus Pro in one wing of my airplane and a PAR-46 Parmetheus Plus in the other wing. 1 Quote

Size... 3 fits in the wing leading edge... 4 fits in the big cowl hole... (but not the pair of small lights some have) Best regards, -a- Quote
OSUAV8TER Posted September 15, 2020 Author Report Posted September 15, 2020 PAR stands for parabolic aluminized reflector and the "36" or "46" is the size of the light. To figure out the size, take 1/8th of an inch and multiply it by the 36 or 46 and you'll get the diameter of the light. So a PAR-36 is 4.5" in diameter and a PAR-46 lamp is 5.75" in diameter. 1 Quote

I am a Precise Flight dealer and carry their PulseLite 1210 device. There are others that will pulse these too. Quote

Nukemzzz Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 I ordered mine from you yesterday! I'm still working on my PPL in my 66E and my first night landings have felt like I was shining a pocket flashlight over the nose to try and see where I was going. We have come a long way since the OG PAR 46 lights. Hoping you can help me light up the whole airport on approach. lol 1 Quote

Nukemzzz Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 Interesting that in the hangar I can’t really tell the difference between the Incandescent and the LED other than the color temp. The center most point on the LED seems more intense. I believe this is where the action is at and I won’t really be able to tell a big difference until I’m on final. It’s good to see that there is some diffusion of the beam to help with taxi. It’s not a pencil thin beam alone. Quote

It’s good to see that there is some diffusion of the beam to help with taxi. It’s not a pencil thin beam alone. You will see it on final. That PAR-46 Pro has the optics to project that beam very far. It was designed for jet aircraft that did not want to go to an HID system. Quote

OSUAV8TER Posted May 8, 2021 Author Report Posted May 8, 2021 I have a PAR-46 Pro on the way out to a M20J owner! These are fantastic landing lights. Here is a test where I compared a PAR-36 Parmetheus Pro to an Aerolite LED light. Do you notice the difference? These have the same exact camera settings meaning ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and camera position. I did some post picture touch up in photoshop to balance the colors better because the Pro and the Aerolite have different colors, which threw off my white balance a little bit.

OSUAV8TER Posted May 27, 2021 Author Report Posted May 27, 2021 The PAR-36 Parmetheus Pro has been flying off the shelf this past week! I have more on the way too.
