Re: LED lights
Well, what are your requirements?? You can get great lights at (https://www.whelen.com/aviation/category?head_id=13) but the price is high.
About the RF noise I found a remedy for that,

Re: LED lights
I guess if one were to insulate an LED one might build up some heat.
I purchased a pair of the cheap LED lights a year or two ago. Advertised as 180 watts. Didn't want to play around with the 36

Re: LED lights
It seems like y'all are finally getting around to addressing my original question. It appears in order to get to the required brightness needed for landing light, will have to deal with unwanted heat

Re: Long-Ez Speed Brake spring tension
Here's the pic. of the speed brake gas strut replacement for those horrible springs. I did this at least 10 years ago and it still works fine. I hadn't looked at it in all that time and had forgotten

Re: LED lights
Del,
I agree that power consumption comparisons are interesting for LED lights but the missing link is the rapidly improving amount of light output per electrical watt consumed.
Consider how much

Re: LED lights
Those $14 LED’s are rated at 140 mA, only 2 watts. The $13 LED’s I used in my Cozy are 36 watts for the pair. They are rated at 2600 Lumens so assuming the same efficiency those Crazed lights

Re: Long-Ez Speed Brake spring tension
Thanks for the tip for an alternate spring breaking reason.
I get Century springs from Ace Hardware and haven't run into that.

Re: Long-Ez Speed Brake spring tension
10 or so years ago I substituted those nasty springs with a gas strut on a friends LongEZ. . I can't remember exactly how I did it. I know it's been working fine all these years. I'll get a pic. of it

Re: Long-Ez Speed Brake spring tension
Many people set the landing brake spring tension ungodly high. STOP that!
It is dangerous for the GIB when a spring breaks and hard for the pilot to open during normal operation.

Long-Ez Speed Brake spring tension
Hello,
Does anyone have an idea of the tension in each spring of the speed brake? I was measuring the tension on the speed brake itself as per the plans, speed brake open and was getting around 30lb
