I had two HD lights in the cowl of my Jabiru powered Europa, but they turned out to be useless. I'd like to hear or see what others have done for a landing light and placement.

I recently installed a 40amp alternator and electrical power is no problem now that I got rid of the so called 15 amp Jabiru alternator.

I came up with one idea, look up 5 CREE LED bike headlight on ebay.

The units I got will run on voltage from 8 - 15 volts, one unit is about the
same as my car headlight, they are about 2 inches across and 2.5 inches
deep.
Well made from aluminium with a glass lense and oring seals. The switch is
on the back of the case so that will have to be moved for obvious reasons
Will post a picture later today

Regards
craig

Hi,

I fitted a 3846 Lumen 7 LED light in the cowl. It works a treat as a taxi tight and landing light, only pulls 2 Amps and has a 384 meter beam. It has been approved by the LAA. The light comes from Australia and is significantly cheaper than similar lights sold for aircraft. See https://www.jaycar.com.au/3486-lumen-ip68-solid-led-spot-light/p/SL3919

I've attached the doc I wrote that details the installation and a few pics.

Regards
Carl
