Default HID Landing Light

Other than the absence of a suitable mount (easily fixed), does anyone see
any problem with this light as a landing light?

I'm considering upgrading from a 50W Halogen lamp, and understand that I
should get ~2x the lumens from a 30W HID. This light has a 12 degree beam
angle and the housing is 2 3/4" in diameter. Their floodlight (in the same
housing) has a 36 degree beam angle.

Thoughts?

I didn't see any specs for the motor cycle light you are looking at...
I do know that the one these guys sell puts out way more light than a
standard landing light and has longer life.

The motorcylce HID you are looking at should have longer life than a
Halogen as well, I just didn't see anything about how much light it
generated...
