:rofl There are an amazing amount of navigation lights around..... more when you consider historical possibilities. I was just going to say red light, but someone already took that one. :D

Title: Re: Help me identify this Aircraft light
Post by: lyric1 on July 13, 2023, 05:44:08 AM: I was a machinist at Grimes aerospace in Urbana Ohio. They made interior and exterior lighting and had about 65% of all Western made aircraft manufactured in the world with their products . They also made lighting and the wing tips like the one in the photo.

While working there I get into inspection and had to learn how to pot the lens into place. The numbers should be searchable through the FAA I don’t recall how the numbering system works now.

The answer is in the number.

Post by: TryHard on July 13, 2023, 05:58:03 PM: I'm not so certain it's red so lets not get ahead of ourselves, That light could be any color based on what color bulb is behind it mixing with the red lens.

I believe the light is yellow :salute
Title: Re: Help me identify this Aircraft light
Post by: Meatwad on July 13, 2023, 06:18:29 PM: But what color tint of the bulb or kelvin rating behind the red lens would create a yellow light? Need a scientific study

Red and yellow are primary colours.
