AeroLEDs upgrades landing and taxi light

By Janice Wood · September 23, 2010 ·

AeroLEDs has refined its SunSpot36X landing light and replaced it with two new models in the process. The new SunSpot36HX will draw 45 watts of power and produce 60,000 candelas, have integrated wig-wag feature (i.e. no external flash box required) and is available with either landing lens or taxi lens configuration.

The new SunSpot 36LX draws only 30 watts, producing 40,000 candelas, does not have integrated wig-wag feature and is available with either a landing or taxi lens configuration.

The SunSpot36HX and LX will burn for more than 50,000 hours, according to company officials. Both can be operated on 9 to 36Vdc and are sealed from external elements and offer a direct replacement to existing PAR36 bulbs.

    Dear SunSpot Group:

    This LED lamp system sounds like a good replacement for the landing light in nose of our M-20C, Mooney/1964 plane. With vibration and heat in that zone of plane installation, we blow lamps frequently. Your 36HX and LX, sound like our ideal replacement.

    Thanks Keep up your good development work.
