Dan, You are right on your points.
I think Fred's point was, if you are going to add landing lights to a Coupe that doesn't have one, you get better speed with lights embedded in the wing than with the lights on the landing gears. The downside of installing landing lights in the wing(s) is the labor, fuss and cost. I've seen Coupes with the gear leg lights be really, really visible approaching an airport. We could see turns instantly. The same goes extra if you have one light in each wing. Putting lights only in one wing loses that bank visibility. Ed
