Better choice: Thomas and Betts Sta-kon B14-6F or similar (there are several similar
types)
See the T&B catalog online. I actually have a box of these but nowhere near 3000.

Subject: | Re: Landing Light Aim |
The old:
Hi Eric et al- On the (tailwheel) PV-2, the Grimes retractable landing
lights are very versatile. The basic unit and it's components can be wired
a variety of ways, but in this example a three position switch controls
lamp movement at will through it's entire range of ops. Limit switches
stop the motor at either end of the travel, with 'up' being fully retracted
and 'down' being in a perfect position for use as a landing light. On the
ground, the lamp can be motored to any position desired for taxi. Another
switch in the assembly turns the lamp on or off as it passes the retracted
plus 15 degrees position. A separate switch in the cockpit can be used to
extinguish the lamps if req'd. Footnote: the bomb bay lights were wired
through the squat switch... one can only imagine how that came about!
Also, I believe that basic landing light ass'y was used right up through
the DC-9.
The new:
Hi Matt et al- Although not yet flying (someday...), I have a light in
each wing, one to be aimed for taxi the other aimed for landing, and both
for redundancy and collision avoidance, including one of Eric's wig-wags.
With any luck, there will be some overlap and each will suffice for the
other should the need arise.
