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 William Bliss Europa XS cowled G-WUFF ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:37:25 PM PST US From: PETER MORGANS Subject: Re: Europa-List: Bright Lights 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 Peter Morgans=0AG-CFKZ-=0A=0A=0A________________________________=0A From: William Bliss =0ATo: europa-list@matronics.com =0ASe nt: Friday, 13 March 2015, 20:14=0ASubject: Europa-List: Bright Lights=0A k>=0A=0AHello All=0A=0AI want to be seen by anything in front.

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 > Date: Fri=2C 13 Mar 2015 20:14:03 +0000 > From: william@wbliss.co.uk > To: europa-list@matronics.com > Subject: Europa-List: Bright Lights > > > Hello All > > I want to be seen by anything in front.

Does anyone in the US who might already have done the mod have a 16.5mm reamer I could borrow or buy from you?
