Looking to install a landing light on my nose gear strut - anyone know of a kit supplier - or a fabricator who has experience - with something similar in the attached picture - a Prometheus (Whelan) PAR36 - 4” diameter LED lamp?
Thx

Chad,

We have successfully installed this AeroLED Sunbeam light on the nose gear of a bunch of Lancair IV's with all brands of nose struts. I made the mounting bracket. A gear swing is required, however, for proper placement on the strut.

The mount is a little different depending on which brand or vintage nose strut you have.

Let me know if you haven't come up with anything else and I can make you one up.

Thanks,

Brad
