I installed standard aircraft Landing/Taxi lights (I think they were 4509's).--I a lso had Aero flash Nav/Strobes (Double flash) with a tail light in the rudd er. -When flying at night I-had to manage the use of the lights so I wo ud not run the battery down.- If-I was doing touch & goes and then shut the engine down there might not have been enough power to restart.=0A=0AI changed to AEROLED's Landing/Taxi lights a couple of years ago. I had the o ld lights setup like this (One for landing angled down and the other for ta xi set level and angled to the right slightly).- I would use one light at a time.- I set the Led's at the same angles but use both at the same tim e.- They also have a WigWag feature built in.- I use the Landing light switch to power both lights for landing and the Taxi light switch for WigWa g.- They don't draw hardly any current and they are brighter.=0A-=0AI a lso installed The AEROLED's Nav/Strobe/Tail light combo when they became av ailable.- Even though I now had tail lights in the wings I also installed aan LED tail light in the rudder.- Now I do not have to manage my power consumption- like "The old days".=0A-=0ASee attached Pictures.=0A-=0A Regards,=0A-=0AAL from Oshkosh=0A=0A=0A________________________________ =0AFrom: chris Sinfield =0ATo: zenith601-list@ matronics.com=0ASent: Mon, January 11, 2010 6:53:58 AM=0ASubject: Zenith601 Sinfield" =0A=0AHi Gang=0A=0AWhilst the leadi ng edges are off I was thinking of how much power the 100W Landing and Taxi lights use. =0A=0AHas anyone seen a LED replacement globe that would fit i n the Standard Zenith Landing /taxi Lights holder? They must use way less p ower.. My Jab,s Alt puts out 20 Amps total and that would be almost total o utput in just those 2 items.=0A=0AChris.=0A=0A=0A=0A=0ARead this topic onli ne here:=0A=0Ahttp://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=281000#281000 ======================= ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:06:17 PM PST US Subject: Zenith601-List: Re: LED Landing lights From: "Ianrat" I have played around with some of the LED,s on the market to try to do what you are asking. The major problem is that all of the drivers that are readily available put out interference at about 120 meg and this is right were our radios are. All I could get was a lot of noise (I also got some bright lights) but could not use them. I have done the same as Al has done and bitten the bullet and installed the Airoled wing flashers and the landing lights. I was lucky and got mine last year at Oshkosh cheap. The only difference is that I have put one light in each wing Ianrat CH601XL Brisbane Australia Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=281238#281238 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith601-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith601-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith601-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith601-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
