Landing light

I swear that when I turn mine on, it actually makes everything darker

Anyone have any leads to a REALLY bright landing light.

Well, it's not a landing light, but rather landing LIGHTS. See:

We added them after becoming similarly disgusted with the stock landing light in our plane. These things
light up EVERYTHING like daytime!

I've currently got regular 4509 bulbs in them, but I just burned one out a couple of days ago (after MAYBE 25
hours of use), so I'm switching to the Q4509s (the quartz-halogen equivalent), which I've used successfully
for years in the nose.


I've been going through lots of bulbs this year too, and I was going to try the quartz. But I noticed
Aircraftspruce selling a "Galaxy" brand (non-quartz) for $10 each (vs $25 for the GE), so I ordered a few of
those to try. Maybe Galaxy will start selling a quartz version for $30!!!
