Hello All
I want to be seen by anything in front. Something like a 20 degree wide
cone of strong white light (maybe flashing) would be reassuring. I would
prefer LED. Any suggestions on what to look for specification wise and
where such a light could be mounted as well as modification approval
experience with the LAA appreciated.
Thanks

Hi William,=0AI've just bought a couple of Cree daytime running lights, as
used on motorbikes. These 3 watt LEDs have a particularly bright white ligh
t and cost about =A325.00 the pair. Just search 'Cree daytime running light
s' and you'll get a host of options. I was thinking of installing 3 or 4 of
these in a cluster at slightly different angles. I'm also hoping to be abl
e to crib the installation and LAA approval from someone else.=0ARegards=0A

Hi William=2C
I installed landing lights using bulbs with the MR16 standard. There is a h
uge choice of LED and Halogen types with a choice of narrow and wide beam.
They cost around =A3 3 each including postage from China. Their diameter is
50mm and I mounted mine in the upper portion of the two inlets at the fron
t of the XS cowling. The 9 watt LED narrow beam bulbs are amazingly bright.
I copied the idea from one of the Czech LSA aircraft. I think it is called
Aerotrek=2C and it is based on the Kitfox.Karl

While I change out the engine mount rubbers I thought I would perform
Mod 72.
Does anyone in the US who might already have done the mod have a 16.5mm
reamer I could borrow or buy from you?
