I'm finishing up an FAA 337 Field Approval for a Wig-Wag lighting switch for my Maule M-4. So I'm considering including a set of non-PMA'd Par 36 LED Landing Lights in this approval. Has anyone ever used or know a guy that used these $34.99 LED lights in this link?
Anyway they are a hell of a lot cheaper than the LED Lights from Aircraft Spruce, and fit in the original 4509 brackets. Any feedback would be appreciated.
At that price I'd be inclined to buy a pair and install them for testing purposes, taxi at night, etc. That way if you don't like the function send them back and save the paperwork effort.
I am an AME in Richland, Washington. Please call for an appointment!
Hello Mt. Flyer,
I actually went with this water-proof version of LED light, and got it approved on my FAA 337. Still way less expensive than the Aircraft Spruce version.

Hello Dan,
The new LED Lights fit perfectly into the original brackets. They are more visible than my old 4509 lights. I'd compare them to the LED lights you see on oncoming new cars that are so bright, even on low-beam. That said, they don't put out a concentrated light beam like the old lights (4509), but that's OK.
