LED Lamps
|
As of Sept 22 2016 these lights are No Longer Available.
Duckworks LED lights. The benefits to LEDs are mainly the very low power draw and long life, but also they are very bright 'to look at', making them good for recognition as well.
These lights Upgrade both our Round and Rectangular Kits, using an adapter plate (supplied with the new LED Light).
NOTE - beginning in April 2015 the LEDs in these units are 20% brighter than before, and we added a circuit to allow flashing them with a simple and inexpensive Flasher (see pics to left).
The Updated units are easily identified - they have a 3rd small gauge wire (the earlier units only have 2 wires).
- This LED Light Designed and Built in the US!
- High Output Low Power landing light

Low Cost High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) Lights
Duckworks offers High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights with a lamp that is a direct fit for our standard Rectangular and Round Reflectors. You still get the benefits of HID - incredible amount of light output, reduced power draw, and long life.
NOTE - These lights have the igniter built into the ballast not the bulb, which helps with the cost. Some customers have reported a slight whine in the audio system during the first 10 sec. Once the lights are warmed up, at most 10 seconds, any whine that might have been audible will be gone in all cases. Wig wag flashers will not cause any interference as long as the systems were warm prior to flashing.
For those with limited Alternator capacity, replacing your Halogen Lamps with these units will definitely help.
Please note - We DO offer these Lamps in Kit form for Leading Edge installations. In keeping with our agreements with Van's, we don't sell the 50W full installation kits - you should get them thru Van's Aircraft.
Units come with mounting screws and instructions.
We have 2 versions of these HID Lights available:
|
Low Cost 50W High Intensity Discharge (HID) 'Xenon' Light
This Unit is more powerful, but does draw more power. It does project it's light farther.
- H3 Form Factor Lamp
- Direct fit replacement for 55W and 100W Halogen bulbs
- Fits in Duckworks Rectangular and Round mounts (shown in lower pic on left)
- This HID Lamp can be Flashed, but there are limitations (warm up the light before flashing)
- 4.5 Amps at 14vdc
Note - this is only the Lamp and Ballast for use when replacing an existing H3 halogen bulb. May not be compatible with wingtip antennae installations.
