Morse Side landing (flood) lights

[Stephen H]

Anyone know a source for the side "landing lights" as they are called?
I need 2 of them it seems the bulbs are not replaceable. Looked on e-
bay, and goggled- nothing found, unless I'm searching on the wrong
name..??

I replaced 2 of mine and used 50 watt lights instead of the 100 watters that
were original, provides plenty of light. Not easy but doable. Got the new
flood lights bulbs from Napa. I seem to remember that there was thread on this
forum about doing this.

Good luck

Jay- I thought through all these years that we had aircraft landing lights. i
guess I learned something new today.

Stephen,

I replaced 1 of the side landing lights on my Bird.

The local replacement bulbs are a flood light and 50 watts, they can
be found at farm supply stores.

The correct bulbs have an unusual beam height and width. They are GE
Lamp#4519. They can be purchased from
http://www.topbulb.com/find/Product_Desc...ctID=42032

They run $35 ea.

Spec's are as follows:
GE Lamp #4519
13.0 Volt
100 Watt
30,000 Candle Power
40 degree horizontal beam spread
7 degree Vertical beam spread
screw terminals

These are actually a Marine landing light, there are some similiar
lights that are designed as airplane landing lights. I am not sure how
our fixtures would react to the much higher heat of that bulb.

Those specs (for the airplane bulb) look like this:
GE Lamp#4313
13.0 Volt
250 Watt
140,000 Candle Power
16 degree horizontal beam spread
7 degree vertical beam spread
screw terminals.

I'd like to know if anyone has tried the airplane landing lights, and
if they had any adverse effect on the fixture or wiring.

Thanks
