That is my understanding about not needing landing lights also but you must have a way to power the position and anti-collision lights so you are going to be using an electrical system capable of

I was only refuting to the landing light question Marc. There is more to it for other type of planes but for HB thats it. Tom Smith A&P/IA Long-EZ N12TS Cell-707-592-0869 KVCB KJ6PZN

I was right behind you in the Rutan mass arrival in 2005 and that's the last time I ever saw you flying your Varieze. Such great news! Look forward to seeing you and the VE at RR maybe? Ryszard

Thanks Marc and all, I knew you didn’t need a landing light but all this talk about it made me look at operating limitations indications as I have never flown the Cozy at night. They say:

I was at the hangar today and took a few pics of my wheel pant lights. These are extremely bright (3200 lumen) cheap Chinese, loads of RF noise, meant to be bumper or roll bar mounted. I dealt with

These type of lights are nowhere close to the brightness needed for landing or taxi lights. They are effective for recognition in flight, especially when wagging but that’s it. The fact they put

I don't use them as landing lights, I use the lower winglet lights for landing. Tom Smith A&P/IA Long-EZ N12TS Cell-707-592-0869 KVCB KJ6PZN

Ours are similar. I made these 10 yrs ago, still working fine. Parts are 3 -triple LED On a printed circuit board, small heat sink, 2- LED drivers, bulk head in nose of pants To hold Assy and

Yes, I do use them in the wheel pants, and soon mounting one each on left and right side just aft of the passenger head aimed at the winglets. Tom Smith A&P/IA Long-EZ

You don't need landing lights to fly at night! You do need position lights. That's it. Look it up when you need to get to sleep! Tom Smith A&P/IA Long-EZ N12TS Cell-707-592-0869 KVCB KJ6PZN

Read your operating limits, it probably says “ unless properly equipped” limited to day vfr. Tim Andres

All this stuff about landing lights made me realize my Cozy is limited to day VFR only. Since I have landing, position, strobe and panel lighting how to I get the day VFR only changed to day or night

I still haven't heard how much heat is produced not so much with these but with the higher output LEDs. Can someone supply that info and how they deal with the heat?

Great, congratulations Steve, Like finding an old flame - as pretty as ever! Your spec. looks good, resisted the starter, etc.. Is /will be fun. With the shutdown I have been thinking of bringing

Ian, Those lights look great for Taxy and for making your aircraft stand out as wig wag lights but they stress they have a wide beam so no, not suitable as serious landing lights. Cheap
