Lights

OK Gang,

It's getting dark here in the northern hemisphere earlier and earlier, which is cramping my style of evening flying! I have

no landing lights, though i do have strobes and position lights, but they're

little help when landing in my dark pasture. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not

planning on taking off into the dark, although that is some nice flying time! I

just want something available in case i am out after it gets dark, think

insurance.

Does anyone have any successful experience lighting up their avid?

I have a 582, which puts out about 11 amps. I have a small atv battery for now,

but am planning on going to a larger battery (lawn mower/small car size).

The research i have done so far points to these units

Obviously, there is going to be one helluva Amp draw when these are on, but with

a bigger battery and the short duration of use, they might work. Lets assume i

have the larger Battery to help with the demand, when i turn the lights on, is

the ignition still going to fire? The main reason for my choice of these lights

is the output and the price, which can be had for around $120. I can't justify

$500 for the Hid and Led (w/ enough power to use as a landing light).

Alright, i let the cat out of the bag, let's have some fun figurin' this one

out! Thanks, Bryce
