Hi guys.  I remain on my search for the 'ideal' landing light.... In doing
so I've checked out the Pilot PL1062C, PL-1055C and the PL-1057C, haven't
tested the PL-4040C  yet.  The .  What I've found  that the beam dispersion
of the units I have tried (all used the 12V 55W halogen bulbs) has been WAY
too broad.  As a reference point I used the landing bulb (GE #4509) from my
'172.  Its  specs are: 100W (Electical power consumption), 110,000
candlepower (light output) rated at 25 hours operation.  Its beam dispersion
is 12 horiz x 6 vert.
