Re: Landing Light Performance
I'll be a guinea pig. My lights on my DA42 leave me wanting a LOT more. PM me a quote on the ballast and a couple of new lights for a -42NG.

You are truly the man Mike!MikeMeadows wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 5:12 am Both the landing and taxiway lights for the 42 and 62 are made by a company called XeVision, in Ogden, UT. I spoke to their customer support and sales person today.

Re: Landing Light Performance
The existing OEM parts and installation are all identical between the current 42, 62 and 50RG, no good reason the same 337 would not apply. The only change is the ballast model, the mounting is identical to the existing ballast, nothing else changes. The only visual difference of the ballasts is the taller heat sink fins.

Re: Landing Light Performance
Photos of the 2 ballast versions, 35 watt output on the right and 50 watt output, taller heatsink fins on the left, all else identical.

- Compare the original ballast on the right 35:watts vs the left with tall heatsinks fins on the left, all else is externally identical

Re: Landing Light Performance
Please put my name down for the 100W rectangular LED (need them to be adjustable so don’t point to the ground - not possible with current lights).

Re: Landing Light Performance
Have you looked at our XeVision website, at the moment only a round Par-36 LED and yes 100 watts. We may develop a rectangular unit in late 2023. We need to design it for all DA's 40/42/50RG/62 if we proceed relatively soon.VickersPilot wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 9:40 pm Please put my name down for the 100W rectangular LED (need them to be adjustable so don’t point to the ground - not possible with current lights).
