REFLECTOR: HID landing lights wholesale - one time offer

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Al,   
 
I bought the landing pattern one. It isn't as good as Id like for taxi, but it is better than the stock lamp. 
 
What would be perfect is if you could get one of the combination ones that LoPricey advertises. It has about a 22 degree spread if I remember right. I did ask the question when I was searching and no-one else seemed to have that reflector.  
 
The HID is so powerful that I plan on adjusting the angle down some more  once I have all the bigger things done. The "landing" pattern is better on taxi and distance than the quartz bulb I had in there before. 
 
Kurt.

one is the same price.

It's not clear to me which is best.   9 degrees would make for a only about
a 10' dia spot at 60', so not good for taxiing.  I'd think that for a
replacement for the standard nose light we'd want the taxi light, and with
the brightness it has it should be goos for landing as well.

Kurt; which do you have?
