Hello,
I'm replacing the landing gear down indicator lights and the transition light in a Lancair 235. The installed lights are the kind that snap into a hole in the panel, and the bulb is not accessible without removing the entire light fixture. I'm replacing those with the push-to-test type of lights found on most certified aircraft (MS25041). The advantage being that one can check a non-illumnating light to determine wether the circuit is open, or the bulb is bad. The bulb can also be replaced from within the cockpit. The dilema I am having is how these lights wire up: There are three terminals on the fixture Vs. two on the old ones. One terminal in the center and two on the outer edges. If I wire the center(+) and one of the outer edges(-) to the circuit the light comes on when its supposed to. However, the light won't illuminate when the push-to-test feature is used (light pushed in). What does the un-used terminal get wired to? An always on supply (+)? I'm afraid to try it for fear of shorting something out. I welcome any advice from someone who has wired these up before. thanks in advance, Bill Gilbert N235JR |
