I have an RV-10 with “EYF 12V 75W HA” halogen reflector bulb landing lights mounted in the wingtips. One of them has recently failed and an interwebs search has yielded LED replacement bulb available (Cree MR16- 75W-P1-30K-15SP- GU53-U1) that draws only 8 watts and is rated at 540 lumens vs. the halogen 75 watts/300 lumens. Both are listed as “narrow spot” beams.
Has anyone done this? Is it as simple of a swap as it appears?
Any problems with heat buildup, switches, radio interference? …Anything?
Seems like the LED’s would be more durable and brighter for a minor cost difference.
Any advice/wisdom from the collective? Still fairly new to VAF but quickly learning to be amazed at the advice and expertise available for the newby like me. Thanks in advance for any input
