Our HID Xenon lamps and HID Xenon lighting systems are suitable to replace your existing landing light. We offer HID conversions for existing standard lamps which are 'Plug & Play kits'.
We also have oval and rectangular designs for small spaces (wing-tip) and a retractable landing light system (under design).
Our highest quality HID Xenon lamp conversion kits are competitively priced for experimental aircraft. Nevertheless, many pilots are choosing now our XeVision HID Xenon conversion kits for their production aircraft with FAA field approvals. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott AZ, has earned an FAA fleet field approval for their certified aircraft. Diamond Aircraft has chosen our XeVision lights as standard equipment on their new production Twin Star DA42
Ambient heat generated by the HID Xenon lamps is substantially less than the standard landing lights which make their installation in composite a/c structures feasible.
Advantages of HID over conventional landing lights:
Manufacturer's Warranty is 5 (five) years or 3000 hours (35 watt lamp, 2000 hours for 50 watt)! Vibration safe - no filament Lower operating costs (low wattage 35 - 50 W, long bulb life) 30 times longer bulb life (typically greater than 3000 hours) Bright white-bluish (daylight) well-defined light pattern See better - be seen - safety with 3200/5300 lumens (35/50 W) Lower electric load - less than half the current Lower radiant heat - 150º F versus 300º F of incandescent lamps.
Altitude Limitation:
We have been working hard to establish and verify altitude characteristics, and we are able to fully warrant a
safe operating altitude of 35'000 ft. ISA
based on extended altitude tests in our lab.
This limitation is valid only for our XeVision HID aircraft lighting systems. HID Xenon lamps should not be turned on above 35'000 ft. ISA.
FAA approval information:
Even though our XeVision landing and taxi lights are for experimental aircraft, our HID aircraft lighting kits can be and have been approved for certified aircraft with FAA approval in numerous certified production aircraft.
Successful field approvals applications using FAA form 337 include (a copy will be provided upon request): Piper PA-44-180 fleet approval (see installation) Piper Arrow PA-28, Bonanza M-35, Cessna C-182, Cessna C-172, Mooney M-20, Cessna C-210 L, Grumman Tiger, Cessna 195, etc.
Our patented XeVision Pulsing System using XeVision's new proprietary XeStrike™ ballast and our XePulse™ pulsing modules modules allow now to reliably pulse ('wig-'wag') HID landing and taxi lights without degrading bulb life. All of our line of HID lights can be pulsed, including 35 and 50 watt systems.

We use only premium quality third generation D1S bulbs with integrated igniter and separate electronic ballast for our aerospace HID lighting products. This - and the use of our double shielded output cables - results in greatly reduced EMI and RFI which meet or exceed DO-160E standards.
