HID Lighting - Info

Benefits of HID Lighting Over Traditional Bulbs
A 35-watt HID lamp produces up to 6x the lumens of a standard landing light bulb, making night landings much easier.
Whiter Light
While an incandescent or halogen light appears yellowish, HID lighting produces a light that is closer to that of natural sunlight.
In most nighttime or bad weather situations, the combinations of a whiter color with a greater light output allows for a safer and more illuminated landing and taxi. In flight, they will stand out for miles ahead of standard lights. HID lights will allow you to see and be seen.
Reduced Power Consumption
HID lamp systems draw significantly less power from your aircraft's electrical system.
Greater Product Life
HID lamp systems are designed to virtually last the life of your aircraft. Due to the fact that they produce very little heat, draw only a percentage of the amperage and have such a long life, HID lights can be turned on when you start your plane and left on until you shut it off. This should be the last bulb you will have to change.
Distinctiveness
Your aircraft will not only have the latest in lighting technologies, but will also have the eye-catching appeal. These lights will be noticed.
