Left Wing Skinning

Under wing courtesy light

I want to be able to comfortably use my plane at night, so I went looking for nice down lights to make boarding easier at night.  I purchased some nice marine lights made by lumitec, Halo  (SKU 112828).  They are waterproof, light (2.2 oz. with the bracket I made) and can be white, red or blue…..using just 2 wires.  The white is dimmable, you just flip the switch on and off quickly as the brightness increases and it will hold that brightness.

I made small brackets from .032 to mount on the inspection cover located over the forward flap support. I will use nutplates on the bracket so the light is easily serviceable if needed.
