Re: KR> Landing lights? Nilight Brand
I’m pretty sure these are the ones I have on my jeep Joe, they are very bright. They are twice as bright as the jeep headlights. https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-Driving-Mounting-Bracket-Warranty/dp/B00G620ZVU/ref=sr_1_12/135-8602385-7989250?ie=UTF8&qid=1507907294&sr=8-12&keywords=nilight+led Larry H > On Oct 12, 2017, at 6:12 AM, n357cj via KRnet wrote: > > Hi guys, > I actually took a look at these lights last week in a Autozone store.

Re: KR> Landing lights? Nilight Brand
Hi guys, I actually took a look at these lights last week in a Autozone store. I am thinking about replacing the hologen driving lights that I installed in 357CJ 15 years ago. They have a test button on the display that gives you a really good idea of how bright they are. This web site is half the price of autozone to boot.

KR> Re KR Landing Lights
If you're thinking of installing a landing light in your wing leading edge, ensure that the lens is blown rather than flat wrapped and reliant on the attachment screws for maintaining the curvature. See recent accident report http://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/2013/Magazine/January/safety_spot_ jan.pdf where a wrapped lens cracked and resulted in turbulent airflow over the wing of a Jodel on take-off. There is speculation about whether this actually caused the loss of control and the subsequent crash or whether it was enough of a distraction for the pilot to have the same result.

RE: KR> Landing Lights
All, I have not been following super close so apologize if already mentioned. The new LED landing lights are expensive but SUPER small and rugged. I have a friend that installed one that is a small rectangle shape and puts out a gob of light (I know that is pretty imprecise). I would go that route if doing this myself.

They could be made to follow the flight path of the plane with a microswitch and motor similar to the one used to set and adjust the trim tab's on some of the KR's that are flying. Once set the beam of light would follow the flight path of the plane and auto adjust to flight attitude within the given ability of motor travel used. Which if memory serves, in some was the electric mirror adjusting motor from car's and truck's. Eric Von Kelsheimer
