Duncan,
Thanks for your email - and you presume correctly :-)
I'll be going for bulbs that give maximum light for the wattage (oh, how I
love that Rotax electrical budget!) - so your thoughts on HID are most
welcome. And I'd very much like to take you up on the offer of the photos,
please!
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Skycraft had a written off XS Europa recently; don't know what state the
wings were in. I registered an interest in these, but never heard back from
them.
Presumably you're trying to answer the PFA's standard question in relation
to fitting landing lights (i.e. will they overheat if left on
inadvertently).
Rather than answer the question, you could try going with lights that don't
use much power (i.e. HID lights take 35W and put out a greater proportion of
that as light rather than heat, as compared to QI bulbs).
I have photos of some units with running temperatures (in free air at room
temp) marked on them, if you're interested.
