Panel lighting

Post by Aeroplane »

Wasn't a great flying day today so I decided to have a look at my panel lighting issue. I discovered that somewhere along the line someone re-lamped the panel with 28 volt bulbs! I picked up some 12 volt ones at my local Advance "Aviation" Parts on my way home. I'll install them tomorrow, pretty sure it'll be problem solved. I'm thinking about changing over to LED's. From what I've read it should be as simple as changing out the bulbs and dimmer. Well, that's a good place to begin the experiment anyway. Anybody have any experience with this?

One option is this STC for LED panel lights from FMK.
