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:
http://alexisparkinn.com/skycraft_landing_lights.htm

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!!!

John,
I have been using Galaxy brand for the last few years. I started out
trying the non-quartz which seemed to last as long as the GE (25hrs!).
Aircraft Spruce does sell Galaxy quartz version

11-02220 GALAXY 4509Q HALOGEN LAND LGT $19.85

I put one in at least 100hrs ago and it still works.

We intially did the same as Michelle (.. the standard lamp as a
taxi on the left and a Quartz for landing
in the right aimed further out) but got tired of changing the standard
lamp and have used Quartz for both. Rick likes to leave both lights on
all the time (!) so the Quartz versions work out well for us.

Spoke too soon, I need the 4591 (28v version)....

I just ordered a Q4509 Galaxy from Aircraft Spruce yesterday. Bad thing
is I just put a Q4509 GE in 10 hours ago and they seem to last me over 100
hours. Good thing is Aircraft Spruce ships so fast (UPS Ground) that I will
have it today. Now that it's getting dark sooner I'd rather have a spare
in the plane than not.
