My 2003 RV-9A has the original 55 watt incandescent lights in the Duckworks reflectors. To my aging eyes, they are like a couple of candles trying to pierce the darkness. I want to replace them with new LED lights. I'm considering the Flyleds combo taxi/landing lights - one in each wing. Each group has 3 landing lights at 1200 lumens each and one 1200 lumen led light that can be separately fed and adjusted to use as a taxi light. I'd run the 3 light clusters in each wing together (currently no wig-wag control available from Flyleds) thru the old landing light switch and the two adjustable taxi lights together thru the old taxi light switch. Paul at Flyleds says the individual lights draw about 1 amp each, so the total for the landing lights would be about 6 amps and the taxi lights about 2 amps. I'd have to run an extra wire from each wing for the taxi lights. They are kind of pricey, but put out a lot of light. Duckworks has an led replacement but it doesn't look like it would put out the same amount of light and it won't allow me to project taxi and landing light from each wing.
Has anyone already done this installation? Any advice?
I don't want to experiment with Chinese flashlights or other arcane solutions and would rather go with something made for my RV. The lumen output of the old 55 watt lamps is supposedly about 6-700 lumens so this setup would put a lot more light out for landing and taxiing.
