Judge for yourself by viewing AVweb’s latest product report video. Editorial director Paul Bertorelli demonstrates traditional incandescent bulbs, HIDs, and new-age LEDs. The results are revealing.

I appreciate the …
I appreciate the review. There was a comment about the LED landing light from “AeroLEDS”, where he points out the beam is much broader (3:24). I’m curious if that was the “wide beam” model or the “narrow beam” model? The Narrow beam model is specifically for landing and has a greater beam distance.

So what if he says “lead”? You probably pronounce other acronyms, like TAF, METAR, SID, STAR, and even OSH. LED? Just another TLA.

The only pet-peeve I have about this reporter is his terminology. It’s pronounced L – E – D singularly…I’ve never heard anyone call them “lead” lights before. Anyway, L.E.Ds lack the crisp focus of most other lighting, but are great for warning lighting…might be a good solution for an ultra-lite or something?

If this editor had any knowledge of what he was talking about he would realize that there are ultra hi-power LEDs with appropriate lenses made for landing lights, not some garage operation product sticking a bunch of small LEDs into a headlight form factor…. it is reports like this and people who make lights in their garage that create misnomers and disinformation.

I really loved this report. But would have loved to see if different LED landing lights (different models from different manufacturers) had higher output than the single unit tested.

so the question is …
so the question is are they gonna make a switch to HID or LED…and if they do switch to LED they would need to find a more powerful one cause in my book that one just isnt strong enough for a landing light
