Recognition light

[PeytonM]

I bought this as a standby 10 years ago, so like a fine wine, it has aged! LASAR says it’s $460, if they could get one! $130 shipping included. 
 

Note: I think the same light is used for both 14V and 28V systems. My airplane is 28V and incorporates a resistor

If you get more requests after you sell your light, let me know.  I'll be pulling out two 14v used/working lights as soon as the LED replacements come out.

I think it’s the same light for both applications; the 28V systems include in step-down resistor.

Fat fingers. Price corrected.

Apparently some of the 28v systems did and others didn't.  It was an issue when Whelen started designing the new LED replacements.

I think it turns out that is was a misconception.

Same incandescent lamp for both.  But LED does require specific to 14/28V.

From what I understand, the original WAT recognition light bulb was a 25W halogen that used 2 amps at 14V.  So for 28V system, Mooney used a 7.5 ohm resistor that at 2 amps resulted in a 15 V step down in voltage; this allowed the use of the same bulb for both 14V and 28V systems.  The interesting part is that WAT has another bulb -01 that is a 28V, 25W halogen that draws 1 amp at 28V. 

I have a 28V system but IPC still has the 303-00 14V lamp and not the -01 28V.
