For my PPL my instructor alway had me put the landing light on as I set up to enter the pattern. Why would you not want to make yourself as noticable to others?
And when I returned to the UK with my new PPL for a PPL hire check out I got a roasting of an instructor for using the landing light as it "wears it out, cost money to replace and should only be used in low visability conditions"
Me - if I want to be seen, I stick the light on. Simple.
