These look to be standard on
737 NGs: Not sure what other airliners use. An image search suggests that there are numerous LED drop-in replacements for incandescent form-factors.
Living under a flight path for DFW I see a lot of aircraft on approach at night and can claim with some confidence that incandescent lights are on the way out for airliners. Whether the blue-white beams of light I'm seeing most of the time are HID or LED is not something I can conclusively evaluate, but when they're a ways off and I'm in the primary beam cone the spectrum resembles white LED to my eyes.
A lot of that change to LED is not due to only performance benefits compared to incandescents, but greatly for aesthetics and the ability to fit LED luminaries into a more "creative location" and shape, not stuck with mostly round form factors as traditional and most HID. The same styling as much of what's being done cosmetically today on high end cars.
With the very significant heat management issues of high powered LED's and the power and cooling requirements for such, bulb Lumens per watt is still higher on higher powered HID than on High powered LED including sustained FULL output and active cooling power requirements.
For a true continuous or long run time output level, high powered LED's must have active cooling to prevent significant dimming.
Example 75 watt HID offers about 8500+ bulb lumens. A 110 (total) watt LED Landing light package
with active cooling will produce under 10,000 Lumens (again not including optics losses), thats about 91 Lumens per watt.
75 watt HID is about 100 bulb lumens per watt including ballast efficiency losses. 50 watt HID is also about 100 Lumens per watt, including ballast efficiency losses.
When including everything, apples to apples, HID is still about 10% more efficient than HIGH powered LED lighting packages.
