I am using twin 100watt bulbs in series on each wingtip and the results are dramatic even in bright daylight. Since 2002 many Lancair builders have used these experimentally produced bulbs. The difference is these reflectors are made for landing light purposes and therefore are focused correctly. The history of these 12v MR-16 bulbs go back many years when I had a few prototypes from a former GE Engineer and took them to OSH. Several Lancair builders including Rick Argente, Bob Chesley, Curt Longo and others, tried out these bulbs and liked them. After many years I was able to get a boutique light shop to make these bulbs. They are based on the standard MR16 (2 inch dia) format but are made from a special 100watt halogen bulb and then joined with a coated reflector. For any of those builders who are already using this type of bulb, I encourage you to try them out. The pencil-like beam is spectacular. I only have a small onetime supply of these as my source for the filament is longer available. If you would like to try them out please send a private email. I'll send you a sample at no cost to you. If you like it, buy a dozen. If you don't, just return it. So far, only one has returned the sample due to mounting considerations.
