Be careful when drilling the mounting holes. It might be better to melt the holes with a small soldering iron. Slightly oversized would be good with the hold down screws not too tight to allow a slight bit of expansion / contraction. Both my flat wrapped lenses have performed well for 500 hours now.

I don't post much, but I read it all. I found lights that look like they will work great for landing lights. They are a little more expensive than some of the fog light assemblies others are using. But they are low power LED's similar to AeroSUN Landing Lights, just a lot cheaper. I bought 2 - 1000 Lumen lights for $180. A link to the company is below. I haven't received them yet. But if anyone is curious to how well they work let me know. And I will do some follow up emails when I get to test them. http://www.rigidindustries.com/Dually-2x2-LED-Lights-p/duallyled.htm Derek Lewis Standard KR-2.

On my kr there is a pull-push handle not unlike a throttle control that moves the landing light up and down, it is also set up with a high and low beam. Just a thought, its lighter than a motor would be and is completely adjustable. - Original Message - From: "jack.cooper2009" <kr2coo...@comcast.net> To: <erickelshei...@att.net>; "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 5:55 PM Subject: Re: KR> Landing Lights With a little engineering you could use a motor from a car mirror and make it adjustable for taxi and landing.

RE: KR> Landing Lights
All, I have not been following super close so apologize if already mentioned. The new LED landing lights are expensive but SUPER small and rugged. I have a friend that installed one that is a small rectangle shape and puts out a gob of light (I know that is pretty imprecise). I would go that route if doing this myself.

There is another method which I have heard of but not seen in action so this is just a maybe you want to try this. Landing light/taxi light is on a counterbalanced pivot so that it stays at the same angle relative to level. If the light is angled slightly downward when the counterbalance is level it will, in theory, stay at that angle relative to the ground no matter what the angle of the aircraft relative to the ground. In theory it should automatically stay pointed toward the runway. I saw this in an old EAA magazine and do not know if anyone ever used it but I think it is an interesting idea of you can work it out. -Original Message- From: krnet-boun...@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-boun...@mylist.net] On Behalf Of erickelshei...@att.net Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 10:17 To: KRnet Subject: KR> Landing Lights With proper fairing in of the light no matter where they are mounted, be it gear leg , wheel pant, belly of the fuselage, leading edge of the wing.

I was faced with the same dilemma, where to put them? Anywhere in the leading edge of the wings would be ideal but I didn't want to cut into the very nice Diehl wings. I thought of the wheel pants and I thought of fairing them in right where the gear legs meet the fuselage, but I ended up putting them in the belly board. I aimed them at night with the plane a little nose down and they've worked fine. I wish they were strong enough to see 1000 feet down the runway but they'll do. The main thing they are good for is taxiing at night without running off the edge of the taxiway at strange airports or hitting some runway debris.
