Roger Lee Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Some one ask where to buy exterior lights and strobes. These are the same ones on CT's, but from the US distributor.

Patrnflyr Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 It would be nice if we could mount that flashing "ELL" electronic landing light that alternates white/red. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3flyer Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 My Sting has 'Wig Wag' recognition lights that alternates between the landing and taxi lights that are integrated in the wingtips. My plane was an early S3 model and didn't have this initially. The install was essentially putting in a relay and a switch. Cost was maybe $75 for parts and installation. I would thing a similar install could be done in the CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanik Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 For those looking for an LED drop in landing light, this is currently the best one out there: http://www.aeonlighting.com/en/product_con.aspx?cid=C_00000424&scid=C_00000438&id=P_00000945 Amazon has them for $46 each. Make sure you choose GX5.3 base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi Kurt, Here is the actual page with the model number you gave. True white with 720 lm. The right model is in the top left corner of the light diagram. http://www.aeonlight...8&id=P_00000945 Lumens vs candlelight: Although there's a LOT more to it, Lumens measure how much light gets to what you want to see, candlepower measures how much light somethng gives off, regardless of whether you use it or not. <br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josjonkers Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Do these work for 12V? Do they fit in the original socket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanik Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Do these work for 12V? Do they fit in the original socket? Yes and yes. about as bright as a 30W halogen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josjonkers Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yes and yes. about as bright as a 30W halogen Cool. I will order a couple. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josjonkers Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yes and yes. about as bright as a 30W halogen Do I need the M01 (50.5 mm) or the M02 (49.7 mm) diameter bulb, or does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanik Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Do I need the M01 (50.5 mm) or the M02 (49.7 mm) diameter bulb, or does it matter? It doesn't really matter but M01 is supposed be a bit better at thermal and M02 fits more standard MR16 fixtures. Strange that they have two versions off by less than 1mm. Make sure you get the V5 is all. http://www.amazon.com/Aurora-MR16-GX5-3-GU5-3-White/dp/B0049I7XTA Lumens is indeed total integrated light output (called radiant flux). Candlepower (Cd) is light per unit of solid angle (think intensity). So for narrow angles, the same lumens with twice the angular spread is about 1/4th the Cd. It comes from candles. 1 standard candle produces 1Lm/Steradien and since it is isotropic (radiating in all directions) 4*PI steradiens total or 12.57 Lumens out. 38Deg Full angle is about 1/3Sr {2*PI(1-cos(19deg))} so 720Lm would be 2100Cd spread over an area 60m wide, 100m in front of the nose.

Jacques Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 hi guys what about these ones. the 9 watts ? http://www.ledliquidatorsinc.com/MR16_3_LED_Cree_light_bulb.php Jos,did you get my PM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanik Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 hi guys what about these ones. the 9 watts ? http://www.ledliquidatorsinc.com/MR16_3_LED_Cree_light_bulb.php Jos,did you get my PM ? I have one of these and they are OK, but they don't really draw 9W and they don't use as nice an LED set as the Aurora. Specifically, the 9W are rated at 410Lm where the Aurora is 720Lm total radiant flux. Also they are wider angle than need be at 60deg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the bulb for the CTLS, too? Or is this just CTSW? There is no tolerance for a deeper than original bulb in the CTLS. Would love to make the change to an LED if this one will work.

chanik Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 It will fit the CTSW which also cannot fit the longer bulbs. I don't think they cahnged bulb holders in the LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 The newer LS's are rectangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 These bulbs seem to all have a set of radial fins around the outside of the LEDs - does having the extra airflow/rainflow into the cowling make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
