hi carlos,
my airplane was built to be vfr day or night but i probably wont renew
my private lic. when it flies. a night landing in the northern wisconsin
woods would probably be the last thing i ever did. you are right about
not needing the nav lights but they were cheap enough from aeroflash
with the wingtip strobes and it cant hurt to run them. anyway, i think
the way to go on the radio lights is to wire them to the same power
suply as the radio. thanks to all who replied.

I couldn't resist to ask you 2 naughty questions:
If you airplane will be used daytime vfr only, why does it have nav
lights for?
Second question, even if you don't want to get rid of those (perhaps
useless) nav lights, are you wanting to turn them on whenever you feel
you need to turn on your radio's lighting?
Now more seriously, wire your radio lighting to its own power
(lighting always on if the radio is on), or to the instruments lighting,
if your plane has it.

hi all,
i have just gotten my icom 200 wired and it works! no credit to me
, i had help. the radio reqiures a separate power feed for its lighting.
the plane will be used daytime vfr only. i could wire the lighting on
always , wire it to go on with the nav lights, and numerous other ways.
not a very big deal but i wanted to hear if there is a logical reason to
do it one way versus another. thanks
