I have fabricated a landing Light assembly for fitment in bottom Engine
Cowl. It's a 30W Ident Light from Aircraft Spruce and with good sharp
output. I felt that was the maximum current I could allow. It may well
be that the Cowling fitment is not suitable and it's at that point I
may consider Spats. No, I haven't applied for a Mod Status as nothing
is firm but obviously will do nearer the time. Not a pleasing
thought....
A 30Watt lamp produces a fair amount of local heat so any placement
needs 'observance' and 'soak testing' for local heat damage.
Flying in Somerset area is beset with Low Flying Military as is many
other parts of UK and although making appropriate use of FIS I still
think it pertinent to be as visible as possible. I have also fitted
Upper and Lower Strobes from Airworld with good effect although they've
to be flown yet. An additional source of light such as you mention can
only help. IMHO.
