Landing lights LED

Need info for LED for landing lights. Do I need STC to replace standard lights and is it remove and replace?

Wayne,

I can speak to the way it was for the Whelen LEDs I put in my Twin. They were remove/replace drop ins that were FAA/PMA'd. This may or may not be true for whatever model you fly - best to read the fine print.

The Whelen tail beacon was under the same STC for the Whelen 1970 rotating beacon but with an updated list fit was an issue (see other posts on this one)

Wayne,

FYI,

I installed the ALPHA LIGHTS purchased from Aircraft Spruce a couple of months ago. The paperwork that came with them said it didn't need a STC or 337 Form. Just a log book entry. Check out there website for more information. They are considered a drop in replacement for the PAR 36 type of lights we have on our aircraft. FWIW.

Jim,

I installed the Alpha Lights. I got them from Aircraft Spruce. They were about $10.00 during their once a year sale. Just do a Google search and it should show the company website with the product information.

They were discounted $10.00 each off the retail price.

After 4 posts... I would have thought that they would have given them to you for more that $10 off... you are one hell of a promotional guy!

Try AeroLeds. I bought landing, position & strobes - all direct replacements. I can't say enough about the lights and the customer service I received. To get the best price, you'll need to purchase through a vendor (I used Gulf Coast Avionics) and have them dropped shipped from AeroLeds.

This is a bit late, but if no decision yet on the LED Landing lights, AeroLEDS are great. They are PMS/STC and ready to place with minimal wiring. There are wig-wag options which I highly recommend unless you already have a Pulslight module, which is what I have.
