REFLECTOR: Landing Light

Chuck,
 
Dmitry Shapovalov in Russia is building a Velocity.  He has engineered an
LED landing light.

He said it is about the same as the incandescent in brightness, but draws
much less power.  I saw him last year at OSH and he said he is redesigning
it to use a newer, brighter LED.

Kevin,
 
Given the physics involved and despite the rapid improvements in output from
LEDs, I would guess we are still "light-years" from seeing an effective LED
landing light, though I don't know what kind of lumens a GE4509 put out.
LEDs are great for being visible at night, but to light up the night, that's
a significantly greaters challenge. OBTW, if you find one....I'll take one!

Has anyone found a suitable LED replacement for the GE4509 landing light?
