Panel toggle switches

Recommended Posts

We have installed a landing light flasher (ELSA type certificate, no letter required). Now we need to install a switch for flasher on/off. Ideally we'd simply replace the original landing light panel switch with a double-throw of the same type. Does anyone have the part number for the panel switches, and/or know if a double-throw version is available?

 

Thanks!

Funny, I just finished a design on a 22W LED landing light where I wanted super bright Taxi/Landing/ Wig-Wag but didn't want to add a switch or wires.

This is the prototype in my office. It is 4 times brighter than any other MR16 bulb out there in Landing mode. In Taxi it is about the smae brightness as the V5 AEON bulb. I also added thermal protection since it can get hot with 22W in. This thing is 50% brighter than any 100W halogen too. I really wanted wig-wag for safety reasons though. I change the setting by toggling the switch. It always starts in low (Taxi) mode. Toggle the switch again within 2 seconds and it goes to high. Once more and it is wig-wag. I use it all the time near airports wig-wagging where it presents a managable 10W load. For those curious, it uses 3x CREE XML T6 bulbs and pumps 2200Lm when it gets lots of airflow. The circuit drops quite a bit when allowed to heat up so Taxi mode is pretty useful. 22W is alot at idle anyway. The engine generator has trouble keeping up with the cumulative load

Update on the panel switches, for the good of the order. The on-off rocker switches on the panel are made by Arcolectric in the UK. Availability in this country is limited to few distributers who don't seem to carry a full line. The part number for the on-off switches is 1300VB. The on-off-on configuration we are still trying to locate is 1520VB.

One of these should work:

Newark partners with Farnell in England which is useful when you're looking for eurocentric electronics.
