Binga: Especially as it is a different filament.

ssh41: FCOM 1.33.20 p2, PFD pitch attitude for approach and flare, light cones observed on other taxiing aircraft.

Most importantly one of my two Airbus factory TRE who pointed out that my previous type and SOP practice to set TO light with the issue of LDG clearance
- was dubious from Human Factors / Error management stand point
- was not in-line with manufacturer's recommandations that were well researched and based on the design of the aircraft
- bird scare input was very disputable and all other effect were only negative
- one day will make me lose vis reference at marginal conditions

Somehow, I decided to THINK and only then tell this 20000 hrs teacher how I hate SOP-only pilots. NOT.

Give it a try, at 5° pitch before touchdown it does very little to illuminate runway. The white patch of light scatter above ground is easily done without. And you more than double the longevity of the light.
