New here so hope im in right place. Apologies if not.
I fly a small microlight which has two landing lights, not really used to see where I'm going more used so other pilots can see me when its a bit hazy. They're H3 halogen 12 V 55 W. I would like to replace them with LEDs to reduce the amount of amps being drawn from alternator. I'm going round in circles trying to find out how bright the halogen are so I may get equivalent LED. So can anyone tell me how many lumens come from the 55 W halogen? To fit LED bulbs, how many LED watt do I need to get the same or greater brightness as my current 55 W halogen. The whiter the light the better. Can you recommend where to get the correct LEDs.
here's hoping one of you guys or gals has got the answers I'm looking for
cheers
Paddy
