Do the landing lights recessed into the sheared fiberglass wing tips
provide equivalent lighting compared to the lights mounted in the
leading edge of an RV6 or any RV for that matter?  From a night visibility
standpoint, if I choose the
leading edge to mount the lights, does it matter if you place them just
outboard of the fuel tanks or out next the the wing tip?  It would be easier to
install
at the wing tip.

Thanks

Roger Crandell

Roger,

  I have a single Bob Olds light mounted 10" inboard
from the left wingtip on my RV4. It utilizes a halogen
car headlight with good results in 350+ night
landings. It is of excellent construction and I would
give it a  very high recommendation. I don't know if
Bob is still making them though. I have flown an RV6
with JC whitney Halogen car driving lights mounted
inside the wingtips that worked equally well. In both
installations, you don't see anything on final at
night until 100'AGL on striped pavement and 50'AGL
above the flare on grass. They are mainly useful in
taxiing...
 I would go for ease and low cost with automotive
replaceability and cut the least amount of
aluminum...good luck!

RR
